The beautiful city of Ranthambore also has a fort to boast of, apart from the Ranthambore National Park. It is inside the Ranthambore National Park. Ranthambore National Park is believed to be named after the 10th century Ranthambore fort, which covers the entire top of a hill at the heart of the Park.
The Ranthambore fort is said to have got its name from two adjoining hills - Rann and Thambhore. The walls of Ranthambore Fort are about 7 kilometres in length and include an area of nearly 4 square kilometres. The Ranthambore fort is bounded by huge stonewalls which are reinforced by towers and bastions. The stone for the masonry was mined from inside the fort and the mines were later turned into ponds for water storage. The main approach to Ranthambore Fort lies through a narrow valley, which had four fortified gateways.
