Amer Fort or Amber Fort is a fort located in Amer, Rajasthan, India. Amer is a town with an area of 4 square kilometres located 11 kilometres from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. Located high on a hill, it is the principal tourist attraction in Jaipur. Fort was originally built by Raja Man Singh in 1592 and expanded in the early 1600's.

  This courtyard is within the Fort. See the map bellow. The Palace is divided into six separate sections each with its own entry gate.

Passing through the Suraj Pol takes one to this courtyard, Jaleb Chowk or "the square where elephants and horses are tethered." Originally the fort's parade ground, its central garden area is surrounded on three sides by guard rooms.
