Shahi fort
Shahi Qila, also known as Karar Fort or Jaunpur Fort, is a historic fort built in the 14th century in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh. Situated near the Shahi Bridge on the Gomti River, the fort was originally constructed by Ibrahim Naib Barbak, a chieftain of Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
Over the centuries, it underwent multiple renovations, particularly during the Mughal era under Emperor Akbar. The fort features an irregular quadrangular layout enclosed by stone walls, with its main entrance facing east. The largest inner gate stands at 14 meters high, while an additional outer gate was added during Akbar’s reign, adorned with blue and yellow tiles.
Inside the fort, remnants of a mosque and a Turkish-style hammam still exist, reflecting the architectural influences of the time.
