This fort made of yellow sandstone is the symbol of Jaisalmer. It has a long history and is one of the oldest castles in Rajasthan. It was built by the Rajput ruler Jaisala in 1156, and subsequent rulers also built fortifications for it. Several wars between the Mughals in Delhi and the Rasores in Jodhpur. The bottom layer of the three-story city wall here is made of hard stones to consolidate the gravel surface on Sanfeng Mountain. The second layer of the city wall has to be guarded around the castle, forming a mezzanine with the third layer of the inner wall, from which the Rajput warriors poured hot oil and water on the unknowing enemies below, as well as cover Bombing in the sky. Although there are many residents in the castle now, the charm of the former frontier city is still vaguely visible. The main attractions in the castle are the City Palace Museum (FortPalaceMuseum) and the Jain Temple (JainTemples). The City Palace Museum is just above the main courtyard of the old castle. The seven-story palace of the former prince stands tall and has now become the City Palace Museum. Floor after floor of small rooms, you will be more and more amazed how these buildings are designed and how they spy on the outside world. Highlights here include the mirrored and painted RangMahal, a small art gallery with exquisite 15th-century sculptures, and a rooftop space with 360-degree views. In Jainism, there are seven temples of yellow sand and stone connected to each other like a labyrinth.

Its tall towers and honey-colored stone carvings can be seen from the narrow streets, and it is a luxurious palace. This mansion was the private residence of the Patwan family who ran the gold and silver processing business in the 18th century. This mansion, which was built with no expense, is made of exquisite reliefs in all places, which can be said to be ingenious and jaw-dropping. From the outside it is more spectacular, and part of it has been converted into a museum, displaying some headscarves, household items and postcards, with traces of original painting and fine mirror craftsmanship.
