Absolutely mesmerizing place to spend a few hours in the lap of a historical place amidst the beauty of nature..

Very nice place full of nature and calm. Its texture is excellent. This fort is very important from the historical point of view. Not only Jaunpur but all over India is a good place for tourists.

Ligh a golf course once you can visit but not must visit or multiple visit place. Good for single visit and hanging out for JAUNPUR level people. Don't travel from our side to visit.

Moving around in the narrow streets and passing through all the hustle and bustle of Jaunpur city...I somehow ended up inside this beautiful fort. The place is maintained by archeological survey of India and is kept nice and clean. The lush green lawns and the crazy old structures are good but the best part about this place is the peace.

A fort turned into a park. Nice green park of relaxing atmosphere good for families to hang out. There's a market bridge on the way where one can get clothes and jewelries at affordable prices. *Use an E-rickshaw as roads are narrow.

Very neat and well managed site by ASI. Can visit to relax and enjoy during winter's.

This view from Shahi Quila is Amazing…

The Kerar Kot fort once stood on the same site on the left (north) bank of the Gomti river. It contained a mosque and a spacious and stylish set of baths (hammam) installed by Barbak, the brother of Tughlaq. The layout of the fort is an irregular quadrangle enclosed in stone walls. The walls surround raised earthworks. Most of the remains of the original structures are buried or in ruin. The main gates face east. The largest inner gate is 14 metres (46 ft) in height. Its external surface is set with ashlar stone. A further, outer, gate was installed during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar under the patronage of the governor of Jaunpur, Min'im Khan, in the 16th century. It is designed in the shape of a flanking bastion. The spandrels or spaces between the arches of the outer gate were decorated with blue and yellow tiles. Ornamental niches are built into the walls of the outer gate. The two-storey residential and administrative building or "palace" was built in a square layout. An interior pillared verandah or aiwan overlooked the ground floor from the first. Bhool bhulaiya It symbolises a perfect Turkish bath, commonly known as Hammam. The hammam is partly underground having both inlet and outlet channels, hot and cold water, and the like. The Mosque The mosque or masjid is likely the oldest building in Jaunpur township. It was a simple arcade of about 39.40 metres (129.3 ft) x 6.65 metres (21.8 ft) in the Bengali style. It was supported by a 12 metres (39 ft) pillar having a Persian inscription inscribed on it, telling the story of erection of the mosque in 1376 by Barbak. There are three low central domes but instead of minars there are two nearby stone pillars.
