Rohtas Fort (Punjabi, Urdu: قلعہ روہتاس; Qila Rohtas) is a 16th-century fortress located near the city of Dina in Jhelum district of the Punjab province of Pakistan. The fort is one of the largest and most formidable in the subcontinent. Rohtas Fort was never taken by force and it has remained remarkably intact.

The fortress was built by the Afghan warlord Sher Shah Suri.

The fort is known for its large defensive walls and several monumental gateways. Rohtas Fort was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, as an "exceptional example of the Muslim military architecture of South Asia

Sur period
Edit
The origin of the fort goes back to the Sur dynasty, when emperor Sher Shah Suri ordered the fort built after his victory over the Mughal emperor Humayun. Construction of the fort began in the year 1541.It was built primarily to defend against the Mughals .

Mughal period
Edit
The fort was ceded to Mughal emperor Humayun in the year 1555.

The fort lost much of its significance as the fort's purpose of subduing Mughal tribesmen, as well as the preventing the return of Emperor Humayun, was no longer required. Further, the construction of the nearby Attock Fort in the 1580s by Emperor Akbar better served Mughal interests.

Sikh Empire period
Edit
The fort remained in use during the Mughal era, and was used almost continuously until 1707, though it was not popular with the Mughal rulers.The Afsharid ruler Nadir Shah camped at the fort during his attack on the Mughal Empire. Also the Afghan chieftain Ahmed Shah Abdali used the fort in his expeditions in the Punjab during the waning days of the Mughal empire. It was briefly conquered by the Marathas in 1758. The Afghans retook the fort in 1759.

In 1825, the Sikh forces of Gurmukh Singh Lamba took the fort so Rohtas was thereafter used for administrative purposes by the Sikh Empire until its collapse by the British in 1849.
