Allahabad Fort, Monument of National Importance in Prayagraj, India.
The fort stands on the banks of the Yamuna River near its confluence with the Ganges, featuring three galleries bordered by elevated towers.
Emperor Akbar ordered the construction of this military stronghold in 1583, making it the largest fortification built during his reign in India.
