Bab 147: Fort of Jaipur (old Amer fort )

Kingdom of Amber, Fort of Jaipur, few days back on 11th march 1557.

The Fort of Amber is a single-layered fortification that encompasses the entire ancient city of Jaipur, including the inner palace through extension of its long walls. To the north and east, the fort is shielded by hilly ranges covered with dense forests, making these sides less accessible. The only approach is from the south and west, where the terrain opens up into fields.

Even though the fort features only a single layer of walls, these are both tall and thick, reinforced with multi-tiered stairs that enhance their strength. Additionally, a deep moat filled with water surrounds the fort, adding another critical layer of defense.
