Allahabad Fort, built in 1583 by Mughal Emperor Akbar, is a massive historic fort located on the banks of the Yamuna River near the sacred confluence with the Ganges in Allahabad (now Prayagraj), Uttar Pradesh. It stands as the largest fort constructed by Akbar and is notable for its impressive design with three galleries and high towers.
The fort houses several significant structures including the Ashoka Pillar from the 3rd century BC, the Patalpuri Temple believed to be connected to mythology, and the Akshayavat or “immortal tree,” which holds special religious importance.
