Rohtas Fort

Rohtas Fort is located in Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan. It is a 16th-century fortress built by Sher Shah Suri on the rocky plateau of Pothuhar. It is an amazing masterpiece of Muslim military architecture. Its construction shows a fusion of Turkish and Indian architecture.

The fort was built on a small hill with a military point of view to keep under control of the Gakhar community who were always ready to revolt. In 1997, UNESCO declared this place a World Heritage Site.
