Hello guys! Let's explore a wonderful historical place called Ramkot Fort.
The ancient Ramkot Fort is a famous landmark of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. It is believed to have been constructed by the Muslim rulers of Kashmir between the 16th and 17th centuries A.D. The fort has the appeal of a traditional Scottish castle with its amazing scenic beauty and rich architectural value.

Architecture and DesignThe Structure of Ramkot Fort epitomizes the Muslim military architecture, being filled with war mechanism. The single entrance to the fort demonstrates smart war strategy. There is a water tank at the front against the background of a building on a raised plinth. A museum was built here in 1992 by the Government of Pakistan. It contains artistic models, paintings and several specimen of rocks.

Today the whole area is reduced to ruins. Due to negligence, most parts of this grand structure has decayed and been taken over by wild vegetation. In the 1990s, a dentist from Rawalpindi spent a fortune to revive the fort, but his efforts fell short due to lack of interest and cooperation from the local authorities.
