Red Fort

Pakistan


This stronghold at a kink in the Neelam River was completed by Sultan Muzaffar Khan in 1646. The Mughals built their own fort and its importance waned, but the Dogra rulers of Jammu & Kashmir state rebuilt and enlarged this one. It's been tidied up for tourists, though significantly damaged by the quake, with an eclectic small museum inside and a tourist resthouse next door.
