Lohagarh Fort or The 'Iron Fort'

Rajasthan Tour Travel > Rajasthan Fort Monuments

The Lohagarh Fort, true to its name stood solidly in front of many British attacks, and frustrated them to  ends. It faced the British onslaught four times and after a long siege they had to withdraw, but Lord Lake, however was successful in capturing it in 1804.

It is very different from the other forts in state, there is no flamboyance associated to fort but it generates an aura of strength and magnificence. The fort is surrounded with moat which was previously filled with water to ward off the enemy attacks. The sandy ramparts were strengthened by sandy battlements, thus the enemy guns proved of no avail.
