Derawar Fort, Fortress in Yazman Tehsil, Pakistan
The square fortress extends over 1500 meters in perimeter with forty circular bastions distributed equally on each side of the structure.
The fortress originated in the 9th century under Rai Jajja Bhati rule and underwent substantial modifications by Nawab Sadeq Mohammad Khan in 1732.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from both Hindu Rajput and Islamic traditions, reflected in the detailed patterns adorning its bastions.
Visitors need to obtain permission from the Abbasi Family to access the interior and should plan for a three to four-hour drive through desert terrain.
Archaeological excavations near the fortress walls revealed 1000-year-old catapult shells, indicating its military significance through different periods.
