  • Sheikhupura Fort (In Punjabi ,Urdu: شیخوپورہ قلعہ‎) is a Mughal-era fort built in 1607 in the city of Sheikhupura in Punjab, Pakistan. Although, there is no conclusive evidence supporting this, the Tuzk-e-Jahangiri mentions that the Emperor assigned the job of constructing the Fort to Sikandar Moeen on his hunting trip to Hiran Minar in 1607AD. It was built during the reign of Emperor Jahangir. The fort was drastically altered during the Sikh-era, with numerous buildings constructed - some with exquisite Sikh-era frescoes.
    The fort is located near the Hiran Minar, built as a memorial for the pet antelope of Emperor Jahangir. The fort was heavily damaged but it is in the process of repairing and now closed for tourists.
