Explore the rich heritage of Dhaka and visit Lalbagh Fort in Old Dhaka, less than a 15-minute drive from InterContinental. Lalbagh Fort is one of the key tourist attractions of Dhaka City. This is an unfinished Mughal fort from the 17th century, the construction of which was started by a Mughal prince who was the governor of Dhaka at that time. When he left, the construction was left incomplete by the next governor in charge because of a family tragedy. Nevertheless, the fort's massive size and the structures inside bring many local tourists to the fort every day.
Located in the Lalbagh area in Old Dhaka, it is the most popular and renowned fort and a great art signature of the Mughal Empire in Bangladesh. It is also known as Fort Aurangabad and is situated by the bank of the river Buriganga in rich red soil.
