PHILLAUR FORT

One of the places in Ludhiana is the historical Phillaur Fort. Deriving its name from Sanghera Jat Phul, this place has been built on European architecture. The place has an extensive moat around it and has 4 bastions on four corners, two watchtowers, tall gates and high wall of 4.7 meters making it an ideal for military operations.

Each gateway of the fort has been named after Mughal cities. The two hundred years old fort is now used for police training and finger print bureau. Tourists often get lost in the historical grandeur of the place be it a visit to the Dargah inside the fort or the lush green golf course outside.
