Lohagarh Fort

Bharatpur, a city that was never conquered by any external army, owes all its grandeurs to the mighty Lohagarh Fort. The name, translated locally, means the ‘Iron Fort’, and it truly complies with it. Known to be strongest forts in India, Lohagarh Fort was built by Maharaja Suraj Mal during his rule. Such was the strength and defence line of this fort that it successfully withstood a repeated attack by the British army in 1805.

Though the ambush went for around six weeks, the fort stood strong and crashed the enemy forces. With every such failed attack on the fort, the rulers of Lohagarh Fort built towers to commemorate its victory; JwaharBurj and FatehBurj are such two towers. Within the fort, there are other historical and architectural marvels like Kishori Mahal, Moti Mahal, Mahal Khas, and KothiKhas.
