Imposing 1660 AD quadrangular brick water fortress built by Subahdar Mir Jumla to protect Dhaka from maritime Portuguese and Magh piracy.
Constructed in 1660 AD at the historical junction of the Ichamati and Meghna rivers, Idrakpur Fort was a crucial defensive linchpin against pirates. It is celebrated for its enormous circular drum tower 30 feet in diameter with an internal staircase where heavy naval cannons were mounted. The fort has been meticulously restored and now features an archaeological museum.
