Sher Shah Suri Fort is a medieval fort  built by Emperor Sher Shah Suri in Tulamba, Punjab.

Sher Shah Suri, originally named Farid Khan, was a prominent emperor in the Indian subcontinent during the mid-16th century.

This rapid urban encroachment has blurred the boundaries between the fort and neighboring buildings, and the muhalla merges with the parts of the fort.

The fort is quickly deteriorating. Over the years, nearby residents have used parts of the fort for constructing their own houses in the surrounding area.

The structure of  Sher Shah Suri fort is deteriorating fast and no restoration work is being done

Sher Shah Suri Fort in Tulamba, showcases an impressive array of defensive and military architectural features. While it may not rival the scale of the Rohtas Fort - another of Sher Shah Suri's architectural achievements - it nonetheless must have carried substantial significance as a strategic outpost

One of the distinct features of the fort is its strong walls, reaching a height of around 15-20 feet with almost 3 to 4 feet thickness.

Unfortunately, the fort's protective wall has suffered substantial damage in several sections, replaced by commercial shops, that has compromised the fort's architecture and integrity.

The lower level of the wall served as a platform for soldiers to secure the fort against invading forces. This ingenious feature suggests a well-thought-out design, focusing on the safety of the fort's inhabitants during a potential siege.

Sher Shah Suri Fort in Tulamba might not display the vastness of Rohtas Fort, its impressive military and defensive architectural features underscore its historical importance as a critical strategic outpost in the Southern Punjab region.
