Amer Fort

Amer fort or Amber fort is located in Amer,Rajasthan ,India. Standing tall on a hill, this huge magnificent fort is just 11 kilometres from Jaipur City. It is one of the most important tourist destinations in Rajasthan.

Built in Red sandstone and marble the fort has Diwan-e- Aam, Diwan-i-khas, Sheesh Mahal and Sukh Niwas. Within the vicinity of each other there are four courtyards. Amer fort along with Jaigarh fort is located above on the Cheel ka Teela ( Hill of the Eagles). Both the Jaigarh fort and the Amer fort are considered as one complex due to the secret passage which was used to escape during the war times by the royal family and also for others in the Amer fort to escape.
