Presenting a perfect blend of Hindu-Muslim architecture, the Amber Fort is located in the small town of Amer in Rajasthan. Built in the 16th century it is known for its artistic styling with large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths. Inside the fort one must see the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. The fort is connected by a subterranean passage in the north to the Jaigarh Fort, which was used as an escape route in times of war.
