পুরান ঢাকার ইসলামপুরে আহসান মঞ্জিলের ঠিক পাশেই গোল তালাব অথবা গোল পুকুর অবস্থিত। তালাব উর্দু শব্দ, যার অর্থ জলাধার । ১৬১০ সালে নবাব আব্দুল বারি এই পুকুরটি খনন করান । স্থানীয়রা এই পুকুরটিকে “নবাব বাড়ি পুশকুনি” নামে সম্বোধন করতো। গোলাকার এই বিশাল পুকুরটির চারপাশে দালান কোঠা রয়েছে। শত ঝড়-ঝাপটা সহ্য করে উনিশ শতকে খনন করা পুকুরটি আজও টিকে আছে গৌরব আর ঐতিহ্যের প্রতীক হিসেবে। বর্তমানে পুকুর ঘিরে আবর্তিত হচ্ছে এই এলাকার হাজারো মানুষের কর্মব্যস্ততা, বসত-বাণিজ্য। চতুর্দিকে দাঁড়িয়ে থাকা ইট-কংক্রিটের স্তূপের মাঝে এই পুকুর যেন একখ-কোমল স্নিগ্ধতা।
বুড়িগঙ্গার দক্ষিণে ও উত্তরে নবাববাড়ী রেখে পূর্ব-পশ্চিমে রয়েছে একাধিক মার্কেট। যার মধ্যে প্রায় পাঁচশ’ বছরের ঐতিহ্য নিয়ে অবস্থান করছে গোলপুকুর। সময়ের বাঁকে বাঁকে নানা রূপ উত্থান-পতনের সাক্ষী এই পুকুর। পুকুরের চারিপাশ ঘিরে আছে প্রায় ৫০ টি নারিকেল গাছ । এবং সব গাছ একই উচ্চতার ।
খোঁজ নিয়ে জানা গেছে, ইসলামপুর এলাকার এ পুকুরটির উৎপত্তি মূলত ছোট একটি জলাশয় থেকে। আনুমানিক ১৬১০ সালে মোগল শাসকদের প্রতিনিধি ইসলাম খাঁ সুবাদার হিসেবে ঢাকায় আসেন। তিনি প্রথমে বর্তমান ইসলামপুর এলাকায় আসেন। ফলে তার নামানুসারে এলাকাটির নামকরণ হয় ইসলামপুর। সুবাদার ইসলাম খাঁ আসার আগে পুরান ঢাকার বাংলাবাজার মিটফোর্ডের বিশাল এলাকায় বাস করতেন কুমার সম্প্রদায়ের লোক। কুমাররা মাটি দিয়ে তৈরি করেন বিভিন্ন সামগ্রী। তাদের প্রয়োজনে ইসলামপুরের এ স্থান থেকে মাটি নেয়া হতো। মাটি কাটতে কাটতে এক পর্যায়ে সৃষ্টি হয় ছোট আকারের গর্তের। এ গর্ত পরবর্তী সময়ে রূপ নেয় জলাশয়ে।
তখন জমিদার মোগল শেখ এনায়েত উল্লাহ তার বাগানবাড়িতে এটিকে জলাশয় হিসেবে ব্যবহার করতেন। এরপর ১৭০০ সালে লুইস নামে এক ফরাসি ব্যবসায়ী এসে বাণিজ্য কুঠি তৈরি করেন এবং তার নামানুসারে এর নাম হয় ‘লুইসের জলা’। ১৮৩০ সালে নবাব খাজা আলিম উল্লাহ কুঠিসহ জলাশয়টি কিনে নেন। এরপর জলাশয়টি সংস্কার করে পুকুরে পরিণত করা হয়। বৃত্তাকারে প্রায় সাড়ে ছয় বিঘা জমির ওপর তৈরি হয় পুকুর। আগে একে ‘গোল তালাব’ নামে ডাকা হতো। তালাব উর্দু শব্দ, যার অর্থ জলাধার। পরে এটি নবাববাড়ির পুকুর নামে স্থানীয়ভাবে পরিচিতি পায়। আর সরকারি গেজেটে এর নাম ‘ইসলামপুরের গোল তালাব’। এটি হচ্ছে গোলপুকুর তৈরির প্রচলিত ইতিহাস। তবে মূল পুকুরটির খননের সময় নিয়ে কিছুটা অস্পষ্টতা রয়েছে। তবে এটি যে উনিশ শতকের তৃতীয় দশকেই খনন করা হয়েছে, সে বিষয়ে কোনো সংশয় নেই।
বর্তমানে “মৌলভী খাজা আবদুল্লাহ ওয়েলফেয়ার ট্রাষ্ট” পুকুরটির দেখাশোনা করছে। নির্ধারিত মূল্যের বিনিময়ে যে কেউ এই পুকুরে গোসল করতে পারে।

Lalbagh Fort (Bengali: লালবাগ দূর্গ) (also known as "Fort Aurangabad") is an incomplete Mughal palace fortress at the Buriganga River in the southwestern part of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Construction was commenced in 1678 by Prince Muhammad Azam during his 15-month long vice-royalty of Bengal, but before the work could complete, he was recalled by Aurangzeb. His successor, Shaista Khan, did not complete the work, though he stayed in Dhaka up to 1688. His daughter Iran Dukht nicknamed Pari Bibi (Fairy Lady) died here in 1684 and this led him to consider the fort to be ominous.
The tomb of Bibi Pari, located in the center, is the most impressive of the surviving buildings of the fort. Eight rooms surround a central square room that contains the mortal remains of Bibi Pari. The central room is covered by a false octagonal-shaped dome, wrapped by a bronze plate.
The entire inner wall of the central room is covered with white marble, while the four rooms at the sides had stone skirting up to a height of one metre. The walls in the rooms at the four corners are skirted with beautifully glazed floral tiles. The tiles have recently been restored; two of the original tiles have been retained. The room at the south eastern corner contains a small grave, popularly known to be of that of Shamsad Begum, possibly a relative of Bibi Pari.
The archaeological excavations have also revealed strata of the Sultanate, as well as of the pre-Muslim periods, from where terracotta heads and plaques have been found. Thus, it is now justified to say that though the Mughals founded Dhaka, it was definitely inhabited long before the Muslims came to Bengal.

Lalbagh Fort is also the witness of the revolt of the native soldiers against the British during the Great Rebellion of 1857.
As in the Red Fort in India, they were defeated by the force led by the East India Company. They and the soldiers who fled from Meerat were hanged to death at the Victoria Park. In 1858 the declaration of Queen Victoria of taking over the administrative control of India from the Company was read out at the Victoria park, latter renamed " Bahadur Shah Park " after the name of the last " Mughal Emperor " who led that greatest rebellion against then British empire.

The fort was never completed; its building stopped after the death of Shaista Khan's daughter, Iran Dukht Bibi Pari, whose tomb is one of the monuments on the site. Her death was considered a bad omen

Lalbagh Fort is an uncompleted complex and gardens set in the centre of Old Dhaka. Unlike the rest of the old city the complex is a quiet, melancholic site, and a step back into the Mughal age of Emperors and Princesses.
Construction began in 1677 under the direction of Prince Mohammed Azam, the third son of Emperor Aurangzeb, although he handed it to Shaista Khan for completion. However the death of Khan's daughter Pari Bibi was considered such a bad omen that the fort was never completed. Only the outer walls and three structures were completed, the mausoleum of Pari Bibi in the centre, the Diwan, the Hall of Audience, and a three-domed Quila Mosque, which were all completed by 1684 when construction was halted.
Lalbagh Fort commonly called “LALBAGH KELLA” in Bangladesh is located in Old City, Dhaka. Although the Fort has dilapidated over time, it still remains embellished by its rich history. It was built during the Mughal period, specifically on 1678 by Prince Mohammad Azam (Viceroy of Bengal), who was also the son of Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb. The fort was originally called the Fort of Aurangabad, but “Lal” which in Bengali literally means “red”, became a much more popular alias, probably because of the red coloration of the structures within the fort.
