Nahagar Fort, also known as Tiger Fort, was built in 1734 and expanded in 1868. The purpose of building Tiger Fort was to enhance the defense capabilities of Amber Fort. There were the longest cannons in the world at that time, with strong defensive capabilities. It stands on a hill in the north of Jaipur's old city and overlooks the whole city. The scenery here is more magnificent and it is a good place to watch the sunset. There is also a legend about the naming of Nahagar Castle because the soul of the dead Prince Narha Singh has been disturbing the construction works, whatever was built during the day, it collapsed at night. He finally left after promising to name the castle after Prince Narha Singh.
