The iconic Chittorgarh Fort, once Mewar's capital, stands several kilometers south of Bhilwara. Spread across 280 hectares atop a 180-meter hill, it dominates the Berach River valley. A winding 1-kilometer road from the new town leads to the fort's main gate, the majestic Ram Pol.
The Vijay Stambha (Victory Tower) in Chittor stands as a symbol of triumph, erected by Rana Khumba between 1458-1468 to honor his victory over Sultan Mahmud Shah I Khalji of Malwa in 1440 AD. This nine-story tower, accessed by 157 steps, offers panoramic views from its 8th-floor summit.
The Kirti Stambha (Tower of Fame), standing at 22 meters high on a 9.1-meter base, adorned with Jain sculptures, predates the Victory Tower, likely from the 12th century. Built by Jain merchant Jijaji Rathod, it venerates Adinath, the first Jain tirthankar. Its lowest floor showcases naked figures of revered Jain tirthankars.
Rana Kumbha's Palace, near Vijaya Stamba's entrance, stands in ruins, the oldest monument on-site. It once housed stables and a Lord Shiva temple. Maharana Udai Singh, Udaipur's founder, reputedly born here, owes his rescue to a maid's sacrifice, part of a popular folk tale. The palace exhibits stone plaster architecture.
