Bhitagarh, Ancient fort site in Panchagarh District, Bangladesh
The archaeological complex spans 25 square kilometers with four concentric quadrangles separated by earthen and brick ramparts reaching heights of 4.9 meters.
Established in the 5th century AD, this settlement functioned as an independent city-state until the 13th century before joining the Bengal Sultanate in 1498.
The foundations of a cruciform temple and stupa within the first quadrangle indicate the religious practices of early inhabitants during different historical periods.
Located 16 kilometers northeast of Panchagarh town, the site contains ten ancient water tanks, with Maharajar Dighi being the largest at 53 acres.
The fortified settlement extends into India's Jalpaiguri district and features strategic gateways named Yama-dur and Kala-duar in its second quadrangle.
