Amer Fort, also known as Amber Fort, is a fort in Amer, Rajasthan, India. Amer is a town located 11 kilometers from Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital. There are numerous forts in Rajasthan's main city, but the Amer Fort is said to be the most famous. It gives you a glimpse of the city's and state's historical past. Meena's Community created the town of Amer and the Amber Fort, with Sawai Jai Singh adding on construction later. When you visit the Amer Fort, the actual meaning of the phrase "live life king size" becomes quite apparent. The magnificent architecture is so stunning that it makes your eyes pause at every wall or pillar. Maota Lake, a lake near the fort, reflects the splendour of the entire palace and makes the sight much more spectacular.
