Perched high on the Aravalli hills, Jaigarh Fort was built as a defensive structure to protect Amber. It houses the famous Jaivana Cannon, considered one of the largest cannons on wheels in the world. The fort offers spectacular views of the surrounding hills and the Amber Fort complex.
The Hawa Mahal, or “Palace of Winds”, is a five-storey architectural marvel facing the bustling Johari Bazaar. Its honeycomb façade with hundreds of small windows (jharokhas) was designed so that royal ladies could view street processions while remaining unseen. It has become one of the most photographed monuments of Jaipur.
Located in the heart of the old city, the City Palace complex blends Rajput and Mughal architecture. Inside, you can visit the textile museum showcasing royal costumes and the armoury museum with Rajput and Mughal weapons. The courtyards, gateways and royal halls reflect the lifestyle of the Jaipur rulers.
