An architectural wonder in Rajasthan

Renowned for its combination of Hindu and Mughal architecture, Amer Fort is located about 11 km from Jaipur in Rajasthan. The citadel was the seat of the Kachwaha Rajputs who ruled Amer in Rajasthan before the capital was moved to the present-day Jaipur. The construction of the fort was commenced in 1592 by Raja Man Singh I over the remnants of an earlier fortified structure. The fort was built with red sandstone. It was modified by successive rulers for the next 150 years.
