Phillaur Fort, Military fort in Phillaur, India.
The stone fortress stands with four corner bastions, high surrounding walls, and watchtowers positioned strategically at the entrance gateways.
Originally constructed as an imperial sarai during Shah Jahan's reign, Maharaja Ranjit Singh transformed the structure into a military fort in 1809.
The fort houses the shrine of Pir Baba Abdullah Shah Ji, making it a spiritual destination for Muslim pilgrims in the Punjab region.
Located along the Grand Trunk Road, the fort now functions as the Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Police Academy, offering training facilities since 1981.
The fortress contains one of India's earliest forensic institutions, the Finger Print Bureau, established within its walls in 1892.
