Lalbagh Fort, also known as Fort Aurangabad, is a fascinating Mughal fort complex in southwest Dhaka, Bangladesh. Begun in 1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah, who later became emperor, its construction was halted when his successor, Shaista Khan, did not continue the project after taking over in 1688. Despite remaining unfinished, Lalbagh Fort stands as a testament to the region's rich Mughal heritage and is a major historical site and tourist attraction in Dhaka. Visitors can explore the fort's beautiful architecture and get a glimpse into the opulent past of the Mughal era.
