• Junagarh Fort : Built by Raja Rai Singh in the year 1593, the Junagarh Fort is one fort which has remained invincible amidst all attacks and aggressions.

The main entrance of the fort is through te Suraj Pol or the Sun Gate. Within the fort, there are numerous other structures like the Chandra Mahal, Anup Mahal, Ganga Niwas and Rang Mahal or the palace of pleasure. The fort is a standing reminder of the valour and skills of the Rajput rulers.
