Pharwala Fort (Urdu: قلعہ پھروالہ) is a 15th-century fort located near Kahuta Tehsil,[1] about 40 km from Rawalpindi in Punjab, Pakistan.[2] The fort is naturally defended on one side by the Himalayan range and on the other by the Soan River.[3] It is spread over an area of 450 acres (1.8 km2),[3] and was once the capital of the Gakhar kingdom.[1]
It is located near the Mai Qumro Mosque in Bagh Juggian, considered the oldest mosque in Islamabad. The mosque is located on the west bank of the Soan River.[4]
