Jaisalmer Fort
Jaisalmer Fort, also known as Sonar Quila or the Golden Fort, is a magnificent fortress located in the city of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Built in 1156 AD by Rawal Jaisal, the fort is one of the largest fully preserved fortified cities in the world and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The fort is constructed from yellow sandstone, which gives it a golden hue, especially at sunset. It stands on Trikuta Hill and is surrounded by the vast expanse of the Thar Desert. The fort is also known as a "living fort" because nearly a quarter of Jaisalmer's population still resides within its walls.
Inside the fort, you'll find a labyrinth of palaces, residences, shops, and temples. Some notable attractions include the Raj Mahal, Laxminath Temple, and the Gadisar Lake. The fort's strategic location on ancient trade routes, including the Silk Road, made it a vital commercial hub in the past.
