Chittorgarh Fort

Perched on a steep hill, the Chittorgarh Fort is the most famous tourist attraction of Chittorgarh. This impressive structure is a silent reminder of the glorious past of Chittorgarh. Covering an impressive area of 700 acres this fort was built by the Mauryas in the 7th century. Even though most of it is in ruins, the fort still manages to capture the imagination of anyone who visits it. The fort is a great example of the medieval Rajput style of architecture. In fact, its exquisitely carved chattris and the impressive main gate (Suraj Pol) speak volumes about the superior tastes of the erstwhile Rajput rulers. Besides, there are many palaces within the fort like the Fateh Prakash Palace, Rana Kumbha Palace and Queen Padmini's Palace. The fort also houses the famous Kirti Stambh and the Vijay Stambh.
