Lalbag Fort | Lalbag Kella, Dhaka

Lalbagh Fort (also known as "Fort Aurangabad") is situated of the river bank of Buriganga, in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It’s an incomplete Mughal palace. Construction was commenced in 1678 by Prince Muhammad Azam during his 15-month long vice-royalty of Bengal, but before the work could complete, he was recalled by Aurangzeb. His successor, Shaista Khan, did not complete the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. His daughter Iran Dukht nicknamed Pari Bibi (Fairy Lady) died here in 1684 and this led him to consider the fort to be ominous. It is one of the most popular traveling areas of Bangladesh. Now the fort area is maintenance by the Archaeology Department of the Bangladesh government.
