   Rohtas Fort (Pakistan) | |
Rohtas Fort (Pashto: د روهتاس قلعہ; Punjabi: روہتاس قلعہ, romanized: Rohtās Qillā; Urdu: قلعہِ روہتاس, romanized: Qilā-e-Rohtās) is a 16th-century citadel located near the city of Dina in Jhelum district of the Punjab, Pakistan. Todar Mal, the minister of the Sur king Sher Shah Suri, supervised the construction of the fort which is now one of the largest and most formidable in Punjab.[1]
The fort remains remarkably intact and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. UNESCO called it an "exceptional example of the Muslim military architecture of Central and South Asia."[2]
