The fort, situated in precipitous hills, is a breathtaking melange of Hindu and Mughal styles. Raja Man Singh I started its construction in 1592 and the fort was built as a safe haven against enemies. It was finally completed by Mirja Raja Jai Singh. The contrast between the warm interior and the harsh exterior could not be more surprising. Made with white marble and red stone, you will certainly be spellbound by the glory of the fort that utilizes carvings, mirrors, and precious stones. 

2. City Palace

Situated deep within the walled city of Jaipur, the City Palace was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Pink City. A mesmerizing fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the palace still houses the last ruling royal family that lives in a private section of the palace. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is widely known to have built magnificent structures, however, it was expanded upon by later rulers as well. The City Palace includes Maharani’s Palace and Mubarak Mahal which now houses the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum and showcases a wide and exclusive collection of royal costumes, Benaras silk sarees, Sanganeri prints, folk embroidery, delicate Pashmina shawls, among other dresses. You will see the clothes of Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I still on display. On the other hand, Maharani’s Palace showcases a unique collection of well-preserved Rajput weaponry, some of which date back to the 15th century. Apart from this, the palace is adorned with magnificent paintings and frescos on the ceilings. 

3. Nahargarh Fort

This majestic fort sits proudly on a ridge of the Aravalli Hills. Nahargarh Fort creates an impressive northern backdrop to the city of Jaipur. It was built during the reign of Jai Singh in 1734 and was later expanded in 1868. The word Nahargarh means abode of tigers. The fort was a formidable barrier to defend the city against enemies. The fort houses Madhavendra Bhawan within its walls, the summer destination for the royal family members.
