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.

brave lineage of Kings; who after many a glorious battle and heroic
sacrifices, established their kingdom.
