The Fort: This huge fort , with 5 Km. of its ramparts from north to south and 1.6 Km from east to west , is perched on the ridge top, 340 m above the city and 595 m above the sea-level. Predating the time of Maharana Pratap Singh, it is one of the very few forts in Rajasthan constructed before the rise of Mughals.
This fort has many gates namely- Jai Pol, Suraj Pol, Laxman Pol, Chand Pol, Krishna Pol and Andheri Gate. The Fort has the residues of temples like Jal Mahal, Nikumbh Mahal, Salim Sagar, Suraj Kund etc.
