On the photo: Built in AD 1648 and called after himself, the town and Fort of Roopangarh (Rajasthan, India) was constructed by Maharaja Roop Singh of Kishangarh State between the mind - 17th to 18th centuries.



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. View from the fort
