Jaigarh fort is a rugged structure built in 1726 by Sawai Jai Singh
situated in the north of Jaipur. Its structure is quite similar to Amber
Fort. The only exception is that it houses the mighty Jaivana, the largest
wheeled canon in the world. Other attractions in the Jaigarh Fort include
three water tanks, a museum, and breathtaking views of the city below.
The Western skyline is dominated by the extensive walls,
watch towers and gateways of Jaigarh built by Jai Singh in 1726. It is one
of the few military structures of medieval India preserved almost intact,
containing palaces, gardens, open and covered reservoirs, a granary, an
armory, a canon foundry and several Temples. It was the royal treasury for
several years. The world's largest cannon on wheels is to be found here. The
fort has its own museum and provides an excellent view of Amer Palace.
