PunjabBuildingProtected
Gujrat fort was constructed by Mughal Emperor Jalal ul Din Muhammad Akbar in 1596-97 CE. It is the symbol of Mughal Architecture in Gujrat. It is present in the center of Gujrat City. It was built on a heap to make it prominent and secure. It is famously narrated that Akbar`s wife fell seriously ill. The Royal Hakeems (Doctors) of Akbar suggested the treatment of a disease of Akbar`s wife in a special type of Bath Room. So, this special type of Bath Room was built in Gujrat near Gujrat Fort for the Treatment of Akbar`s Wife. Many people still take bath in this Akbari Hammam to get rid of their many diseases.
