Rohtas Fort

Rohtas Fort is a UNESCO Heritage site dating to the 16th century. UNESCO calls it an "exceptional example of the Muslim military architecture of Central and South Asia."
The 1st three pictures are the Shah Chandwali double gate. It is named for a man who worked on the gate but refused wages.
The next 2 pictures are of some of the remains showing the multilevel construction of the citadel.
The next 2 pictures are at the remains of the Haveli Raja Maan Singh, located on the highest point of the citadel. It includes a small remaining portion of the palace built for the Raja. The 2nd of these pictures looks out a window from the palace.
Nearby is the one story Rani Mahal, or Queen's Palace in the next photo. It is thought to have been a 4 room palace, but only one room remains.
Of the remaing pictures, all but the last one look at different portions of the fortress. Notice the structures at the top of the walls, called merlons, that were designed for muskets.
The last picture is from the inside of another gate. You can get a sense of the detail work in sandstone that, along with brick, made up the structure of the fort.Read more
