Lalbagh Fort, Mughal fort in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh
The fortress comprises three main structures: a central tomb complex, a three-domed red mosque, and an audience hall with residential quarters.
Construction started in 1678 by Prince Muhammad Azam, son of Emperor Aurangzeb, but remained incomplete when he departed for Delhi in 1679.
The Persian-style tomb chamber contains the remains of Bibi Pari, daughter of Governor Shaista Khan, decorated with marble, stonework, and colorful tiles.
The fort opens daily except Sundays, with entrance fees of 20 taka for locals and 200 taka for international visitors.
The fort includes a water tank with corner steps, originally designed for water storage and bathing purposes for the Mughal nobility.
