Amer Fort

Amer Fort, literally referred to as Ambar Fort, is one of the marvels of Rajasthan. It is located just 11 kilometres away from Jaipur. This is very much an exciting and attractive feature for most of the Jaipur tour packages because Amer Fort Jaipur is famous for its incredible design and historical importance. The fort has a combination of Hindu and Mughal styles of architecture along with excellent red sandstone and marble structures.

Amer Fort is rich in elements of art style. Overshadowing Maota Lake as the main source of water for the Amer Palace, its large ramparts series of gates and cobbled paths overshadow the main source of water- Maota Lake. Reference no. Amer Palace is a great example of Rajput architecture.

There is another secret of the fort: a secret two-kilometre-long tunnel was constructed in the Amer Fort straight to the Jaigarh Fort, and it lay behind the Zanana Palace. They say that the walls of the Jaigarh Fort were built far stronger and more fortified than the walls of the Amer Fort.

The fort is famous for its glitzy palaces, courtyards, and intricate artworks. Amongst them lies the Sheesh Mahal Amer Fort, or Mirror Palace, said to represent beautiful sculptures that reflect light and cast an otherworldly, magical spell over the viewer. The walls of this fantastic palace are studded with tiny mirrors sparkling like stars when candlelight ignites them.

From the fort, tourists can see the magnificent Ganeshpol, which is quite ornately decorated with many statues and sculptures.
