A fort built in 1546 by Salim Shah Suri, the son of Sher Shah Suri. At the time, the Mughal Empire had been temporarily overthrown, as Sher Shah Suri defeated Mughal emperor Humayun and established the rule of the Sur Empire rule in Delhi. The Surid dynasty continued until 1555, when Humayun regained control by defeating Sikandar Suri, the last ruler of the dynasty.
