Gobindgarh Fort, located in the heart of Amritsar, is one of Punjab’s most dynamic heritage
attractions.
Originally built in the 18th century and later strengthened by Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the fort served
as a major military stronghold of the Sikh Empire.
Spread across 43 acres, the fort features massive brick ramparts, iron gates, moats, bastions, and
secret tunnels.
It once safeguarded the legendary Koh-i-Noor Diamond during Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s
reign.

• Interactive museums such as the Warfare Museum and Pagdi Museum
The fort features the stunning 7D show “Sher-e-Punjab”, narrating the life
of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in a cinematic style.
