To the left of the court building we can see the fortified wall and its two bastions which are built half in brick and half in stone. The path going through teh bush takes us to the devastated entrance door and further this path takes a turn to take us further to the fort summit. The fort premise is in a very bad shape and ill maintained. There are remnants of structures and two dried water tanks on the fort. There are a total 7 bastions on the fort and it takes about 15 minutes to visit the entire fort.
