Sialkot Fort, Archaeological ruins in Sialkot, Pakistan.

The stone and mud walls of Sialkot Fort rise above the surrounding district, displaying elements of ancient military architecture and defense structures.

Built during the 2nd century CE by Raja Sálbán, the fort underwent reconstruction under Shahab ud-Din Ghori after capturing it from the last Ghaznavid ruler.

The fort represents multiple layers of South Asian history, from ancient Indo-Greek influences through Mughal periods to modern Pakistani heritage.

Visitors can explore the fort grounds through organized tours, learning about architectural elements and regional fortification methods from local guides.

The Janjua tribes received control of Sialkot Fort from Sultan Firuz Shah Tughluq during the 14th century as recognition of their regional influence.
