Few Months ago I got a chance to visit Amer Fort in Jaipur. It was my first and only visit to Jaipur n this fort. Before visiting i haven't heard much about this place but i did a research during my visit and learned lots of things and i like to share few things which i learned. 

• According to various sources Amer Fort was built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh. (correct me if i am wrong)
• Located high on a hill, it is the principal tourist attraction in the Jaipur area.
• Amer Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake ; It is the main source of water for the Amer Palace
• in 2013 Amer Fort was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan.
• Amer, derives its name from the Ambikeshwar Temple, Ambikashwara is a local name for the god Shiva.

Here some photos taken by me and my Cousin 🙂
