Set within natural surroundings, the Fort at 400 feet is enclosed by imposing walls.The intricate boundaries within has imprints of cannonballs targeted to beat the enemy.The Fort chronicles victory at the \u201cJayapol (meaning ‘victory’), built by Maharaja Man Sing celebrating his victories over Jaipur and the Bikaner armies. The Fattehpol gate which also means ‘victory’ was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract attention even today.Tourists make a beeline to photograph the palm imprints on the walls, that have been an\u00a0archaeologists\u00a0delight.<\/p>\n

The Fort has a museum with royal palanquins, including the domed gilt Mahadol palanquin, which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730.The museum has rare exhibits from the reign of the Rathores.<\/p>\n
