Landmarks

[edit]

Badnor Fort is an example of a medieval Indian military style of architecture. This seven-storied fort stands atop a hill and presents extensive views all around. There are a number of small monuments and temples within the precincts of Badnor Fort in Rajasthan India and around it. The buildings within Badnore Fort Bhilwara are all built in the traditional Rajputana style of architecture, which is a local variation of the extensive Hindu style of architecture. There is also an ancient mosque built by Sultan Feroze Shah Tughluq.
