Lalbagh Fort is an incomplete 17th-century Mughal fort complex that stands before the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The construction was started in 1678 AD by Mughal Subahdar Muhammad Azam Shah, who was son of Emperor Aurangzeb and later emperor himself.

About Dark Turnal

The front gate structure directly heading to the tomb of "Pari Biwi" was the queen of Mughal King. There has a dark turnal which directly has an exit point to under river.

Below photo the the path of turnal. It has been closed since there has one accident. The gate use to open to the visitors & about years back, one of guy went to see what has inside deep. They went but one were not returned from there. No one knows, Somebody says he flowed to the river through the turnal. As the dept was unknown so govt. thinks for the safety issues while there lot of kids are traveling as well.

Below photo is from the river side of the fort named Buriganga River. It;s 4.8 KM away from the fort so you can understand the depth of the turnal !
