Associated with the Sikh warrior king Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Gobindgarh Fort was built by the army of Gujjar Singh Bhangi of Misl. Later in 1805-09, it was rebuilt by Lion of the Punjab, Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji with the help of Jodh Singh and he strengthened the fortification of the fort in order to keep his treasures and treaties in safety. It is believed that the fort has a hidden underground tunnel that opens towards Lahore. The fort was constructed with brick and lime with numerous army bastions and iron gates with 25 cannons on the ramparts. The fort was constructed on a square pattern with a parameter of 1500 sq. mt. with two strong gates, four large bastions and well-defined rampart. The majestic entrance has been named Nalwa Gate, after the great Sikh warrior. Fort has a magnificent design and architecture. Another big attraction of the Fort is the magnificent 7D show. Gobindgarh Fort is a perfect historical site to experience the brave history of Maharaja Ranjit Singh closely. Sher-E-Punjab is the most enthralling 7D show in Amritsar that introduces you to the history of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in an intriguing way.
