The Alwar Fort is nestled in a
steep hill that is 300 meters above the city. The magnificent fort is a great
landmark of the Luxury Rajasthan Tours.
The fort has a lot of historical significance. It was built before the Mughal
period in the 16th century. Moreover, it is also believed that Babur once came
to the fort in order to dodge his enemies.
History associated to the fort also reveals
that the fort was taken over by Rana Pratap Singh in 1775. However, there is no
consensus among historians to draw a conclusion to this. It is also believed
that Nikumbh Rajput built the palace in 928 A.D. Hence, the history of fort
draws a lot of confusion and curiosity. This curiosity often acts as an appeal
for the Rajasthan Tours.
The magnificent Alwar Fort
stretches across 5 kilometers from North to South and is located at a height of
305 meters above the main city. Various architectural features like the 15
large and 51 small towers add a lot of beauty to the fort.
There are also beautiful gates
and each of the gates bears different names. The various names of the entry
points of the fort are Chand Pol Kishan Pol, Laxman Pol, Jai Pol and Suraj
Fort. Looking at the various architectural features of the fort, you will
surely wonder about the architectural excellence of craftsmen of that era.
