The Red Fort of Dhaka

The Lalbagh Fort, also known as Lalbagh Qila or Lalbagh Kella, is an iconic 17th-century Mughal fort complex located in the heart of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Its centerpiece is the majestic Lalbagh Fort, which was commissioned by Prince Muhammad Azam, the son of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Though the fort was never completed, it remains a significant historical and architectural landmark, showcasing exquisite Mughal design elements such as domes, minarets, and ornate carvings. The fort's name, Lalbagh, translates to "Red Garden" in English, likely referring to the red sandstone used in its construction. Today, Lalbagh Fort stands as a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Dhaka's rich cultural heritage.#Bangladesh #trip #Travel #culture
