2019.2.9 Kumbhalgarth Fortress, Rajasthan, India
accessed April 22, 2019
這個險峻的城堡為拉賈斯坦本地國王於15世紀所建。當時印度為外來的回教的蒙古王朝所統治。但此城堡並未被蒙古王朝攻陷。
This fort was built between 1443 -1458 by a king of Rajasthan and was not conquered by the Mughal Empire.

This fortress contains multiple layers of citadels and gates. 這城堡有數重城牆和厚門,都裝了大鐵釘以防大象撞門。Each gate is armed with spikes as such to guard against the charging elephants trained for gate-breaking. In addition, the mountain road leading to the gate is deliberately designed to curve around to prevent the charging elephants from gaining speed.
