(RED FORT)

The Red Fort derives its name from the extensive use of red sandstone on the massive walls that surround the fort The Red Fort, known locally as Lal Qila is a 17th-century fort complex constructed by the Mughal emperor.It is said that construction of the Fort was initially taken up by the Chuk rulers to counter the offensives of the intruders. However, Sultan Muzaffarabad Khan, the founder of Muzaffarabad town, finally completed it in 1646. During the mughal rule in Kashmir this Fort lost its importance, as they were more interested in other parts of their empire.

But when Durrani’s took over the rule of this area It gain came into limelight and its importance was recovered.
