Rohtas Fort, Military fort in Jhelum District, Pakistan
The fortress extends over 70 hectares with defensive walls reaching heights between 10 and 18 meters, incorporating twelve monumental gates and multiple watch towers.
Sher Shah Suri ordered the construction of this fortress in 1541 to prevent Mughal emperor Humayun from returning to India through the northern route.
The fort combines architectural elements from Turkish, Persian, and South Asian traditions, visible in its gates decorated with detailed stone carvings and floral patterns.
The fortress maintains a visitor center at Kabuli Gate, providing information about the structure's history and architectural features through guided tours.
The central water reservoir, featuring 148 steps and three arches, supplied water to the entire fortress through an intricate network of smaller wells.
