About
Qila Mubarak, is a fortress of Sikh architecture in Patiala, Punjab, India. It was the residential palace of the Maharaja of Patiala. It is mostly disused now and in poor condition. Much of the fortress is closed-off to public access, including its Shish Mahal. However, there is public access to the Darbar Hall (now a museum), Sarad Khana, Jalau Khana, and cannon-barrels on-display. According to the World Monuments Fund, it was among the 100 most endangered sites in the world in 2004.
