attractive, opulent palace is laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard. Its construction ensured that
a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over a water cascade within the palace. This is
a UNESCO World Heritage Site 
Jaigarh Fort- The Amer fort along with Jaigarh Fort, is located immediately above on the Hill of
Eagles. The Amer fort and Jaigarh Fort are considered one complex, as the two are connected by a
subterranean passage. This passage was meant as an escape route in times of war to enable the
royal family members and others in the Amer Fort
Nahargarh Fort- Along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh once formed a strong defence ring
for the city. Nahar in local language means 'abode of tigers'. The popular belief is that Nahar here
stands for the kind named Nahar Singh Bhomia, whose spirit haunted the place and obstructed
construction of the fort. Nahar's spirit was pacified by building a temple in his memory within the fort,
which thus became known by his name
Hawa Mahal- The structure was built in 1799 from red and pink sandstone. Its five-floor exterior is
akin to a honeycomb with its 953 highly decorated small windows. The original intent of this design
was to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals celebrated in the street below without
being seen. This architectural feature also allowed cool air to pass through, thus making the whole
area more pleasant during the high temperatures in summer
City Palace- The City Palace, Jaipur was established in 1727. It now houses the Museum, and
continues to be the home of the Jaipur royal family. The royal family has around 500 personal
servants The palace complex has several buildings, various courtyards, galleries, restaurants, and
offices
