Peshawar / Attractions / Balahisaar Fort

The mighty Balahisaar Fort lies or' both eastern and western approaches to Pesbawar city. It meets the eye when coming from Rawalpindi or from the Khyber. It is a massive frowning structure as its name implies, and the newcomer passing under the shadow ot its huge battlements and ramparts cannot fail to be impressed.

Originally built by Babur. the first of the Moghals in 1526-30, it was rebuilt in its present form by the Sikh Governor of Peshawar, Hari Singh Nalva, in the 1830's under the guidance of French engineers. It houses government offices at present.
