What you can see and do
This river fort of the Mughal period lies right inside Munshiganj town. The governor Mir Jumla raised it around 1660. The aim was to keep out Magh and Portuguese pirates. The crenellated walls and corner bastions survive, and so does the tall round platform. It was one of three forts that guarded the river approach to Dhaka.
How to get there
From the bus stand it is a few minutes by rickshaw. The fort stands in the centre of Munshiganj town.
Safety notes
Do not climb on old walls or ruins or write on them; check the opening hours and closing days first.
