Built in 1459 as the new capital of Marwar, The Mehrangarh Fort is located atop a hill, right above the historic city of Jodhpur. The fortress is one of the few, which never fell to the invading armies and is exemplary of the imperial might of the Rathore Rajputs. The thick walls of the fort also contain several palatial structures that contain a plethora of artifacts, weapons, armor and paintings.
