Very nice place for family tour. The kekar kot fort once stood on the same site on the left (north) bank of the Gomti river. It contained a mosque and a spacious and stylish set of baths (hammam) installed by Barbak, the brother of Tughlaq. The fort's layout is an irregular quadrangle enclosed in stone walls. The walls surround raised earthworks. Most of the remains of the original structures are buried or in ruin.[4] The main gates face east. The largest inner gate is 14 metres (46 ft) in height. Its external surface is set with ashlar stone.[4] A further outer gate was installed during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar under the patronage of the governor of Jaunpur, Min'im Khan, in the 16th century. It is designed in the shape of a flanking bastion. The spandrels or spaces between the arches of the outer gate were decorated with blue and yellow tiles. Ornamental niches are built into the walls of the outer gate. The two-storey residential and administrative building or "palace" was built in a square layout. An interior pillared verandah or aiwan overlooked the ground floor from the first. Nothing much has survived inside the fort. A mosque and a Turkish hammam are the only two prominent structures within the fort complex. Apart from these the complex also contains a gate-like structure along with a dargah.

I recently visited the wonderful Jaunpur fort in India and it was truly a magnificent experience. The fort is a Mughal era structure built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The fort is situated on the banks of the Gomti River and is an impressive sight. The fort is made of massive walls and four large towers and the architecture is awe-inspiring. Inside the fort there are several buildings constructed to house the royal family and courtiers, as well as multiple gardens and squares. Apart from the structure itself, the fort offers something very unique. It has a large collection of artifacts from the Mughal era and visitors can see the carvings on the walls, some paintings and even some weapons. There is also a large collection of coins from the era which can be a treasure hunt for a history enthusiast. Additionally, this fort offers tourists a beautiful view from its top. The view of both the river and the cityscape beyond the fort’s walls is simply beautiful. In conclusion, I would highly recommend a visit to the Jaunpur fort...
