Bhadra Fort, Monument of National Importance in Ahmedabad, India
The fort complex spans 43 acres and features fourteen towers, eight gates, and two main openings with lattice work adorning the windows.
Ahmad Shah I established Bhadra Fort in 1411 as part of the citadel's eastern entrance, marking the foundation of Ahmedabad's defensive infrastructure.
The fort contains the Bhadrakali Temple, which connects to traditions about Goddess Lakshmi's visit that brought prosperity to the entire region.
The fort houses government offices and remains open to visitors from 8 AM to 6 PM every day of the week throughout the year.
The British forces installed a London-manufactured clock tower within the fort grounds in 1849, adding a colonial element to its architecture.
