Roopangarh Fort

The Kingdom of Kishangarh was established in A.D. 1611. The fortress was originally built by Maharaja Roop Singh of Kishangarh in 1648. Roopangarh was made the capital of this kingdom in A.D. 1649. For around 100 years or so, this city was at its glorious best.

The name of the city means the city of beauty. It is situated atop a hill to the north of Kishangarh city. After the fort was constructed, a new town developed around the fort.

An ornate palace was built next to the fortress.

In 1999, this fort was converted into a luxury hotel. The interiors and exteriors were not changed much. There are 20 rooms. Some of these rooms are vast former royal suites.
