Jaigarh Fort like most Rajpst forts is perched on a hill surrounding the city. It is also of the same dull yellow and brown colour of the landscape. Therefore its difficult to gauge its size from a distance. The fort is big and was never captured by anyone. It has a huge canon `Jaya Yana'. It is the largest wheeled canon in the world. Unfortunately however one can barely get a glimpse of it as its perched so high. What you do get a good view of is the Amber Fort that is hardly one kilometer down the same hill.
