Tulaja Fort

Tulaja Fort (Urdu: تلاجہ قلعہ) is a ruined fort in Soan Valley, Punjab, Pakistan.

History

According to local sources, Tulaja Fort was founded five thousand years ago and was then named Til An Ja. The entrance to the fort was located in a cave. Only through the tunnel could the fort be accessed, as it was surrounded by large stones. The area used to receive water from the neighbouring creek.

In October 2021, a team of researchers found that the site is two thousand years old.

It is under the administration of the Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab, a department of the Government of Punjab, Pakistan.
