Gujar Singh Fort or Gobindgarh Fort is a historic military fortress in the middle of the Amritsar city. Built by the Bhangi Misi Rulers in the year 1760, Maharaja Ranjit Singh captured the fort and was initially made of mud. The fort was relabelled Gobind Garh after the name of the Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The fort’s architecture follows military design having a parapet and 2 doors in every corner. Killer Gate is the back door and the main entryway is referred to as Nalwa Gate. Numerous bastions and moat were built around the fort to keep the priceless treasures safely.
