  This fort overlooks the Amer Fort. It has the world's largest cannon on wheels. So this may be the only reason you should visit this fort. It's not as majestic as the Amer Fort but you can definitely appreciate the architecture and majestic walls of this fort. It also has good sunrise and sunset views. This place sits on almost the entire hill and what's impressive is that they do have a few staircase wells that draw water from surrounding hills which ensures that even if the land surrounding the hill dries up, the fort will always have supply of water. You may not want to spend much time here but at the same time if you are visiting Amer Fort then you shouldn't skip this place.
