The half-finished Lalbagh Fort and its very much tended patio nurseries are a reason to escape Old Dhaka's hurrying around for a hour or thereabouts. The post is especially climatic in the early morning light. Development started in 1677 under the course of Prince Mohammed Azam, Emperor Aurangzeb's third child, in spite of the fact that he gave it to Shaista Khan for fulfillment. Notwithstanding, the demise of Khan's little girl, Pari Bibi (Fair Lady), was viewed as such an awful sign, to the point that the fortification was never finished.

Three design landmarks inside the complex were done: the Mausoleum of Pari Bibi (before you as you enter), the Diwan, or Hall of Audience (to one side) and the three-domed Quilla Mosque (on your right side) all date from 1684.

The main landmark you can enter is the Diwan, an exquisite two-story structure containing a little however great historical center of Mughal smaller than usual canvases, coins, rugs and calligraphy, alongside swords and guns. In a similar building, an enormous curved entryway prompts the hammam (bathhouse). Outside is an immense neglected washing tank.
