Roopangarh Fort
Built in AD 1648
and called after himself, the town and Fort of Roopangarh was
constructed by Maharaja Roop Singh of Kishangarh State between the
mind - 17th to 18th centuries. This is called
the 'Golden Period' of Kishangarh Art and Culture, and saw to the
flourishing of the world famous school of Miniature Paintings.
Originally a nine turreted Fort, it has been built over and added on
by several generations and the different styles can still be seen in
the structure. Now beautifully restored and renovated into a hotel,
it is the first 'War-Fort' to have been done so. The nineteen large
rooms are individually and tastefully decorated, keeping in mind the
history and heritage surrounding it.
