The Meherangarh fort, meaning the 'majestic fort', is set on a 125 mt high hill which can be accessed by a winding road uphill. The majestic for, built in 1806, is one of greet hilltop forts and can be seen from the surrounding part of the city. The medieval charm is displayed in the exquisitely carved panels and porches and the decorated walls and windows of Moti Mahal, Phool Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana. Meherangarh has it's own architectural appeal, such as brilliant stained glass, that creates vibrant mosaics on the floors, with the passage of the sun through the day. The palace in this fort has it's own peculiar style. The only means to access royal residences are the narrow staircases built within. The fort still houses a collection of musical instruments palanquins, furniture and cannons.

The well situated Meherangarh almost appears impressible. The battlements are set 400 ft above the hill. It has three gates, each built to commemorate a victory as well as to reinforce the fort.
