With a turbulent and fairly eventful previous, the Gwalior Fort spreads out over an area of three square km, bounded by solid walls of sandstone, which enclose 3 temples, six palaces along with a quantity of h2o tanks.
Regarded as North and Central India`s most impregnable fortress, the Gwalior Fort was built by Raja Man Singh Tomar within the 15th century.
