The ruins of Gaur feel like a “lost capital,” with scattered gateways, old walls, and remains of medieval urban life that invite slow exploration. The site is especially fascinating for history lovers who want to imagine the scale of a once-thriving city of power, trade, and culture.
About this place
History & highlights
Gaur served as a major capital of the Bengal Sultanate for a long period (often cited roughly mid-15th century to 1565), after which its prominence declined. Its surviving ruins largely reflect Sultanate and later periods, preserving the story of Bengal’s medieval political centers and the shifting geography of power along great rivers.
