Built in Rajput style, this fort is perched atop a hill 500 ft above ground level. It was built by the Kachwaha clan of Rajputs in the 10th century and was later occupied by other clans, the Mughals and finally the Scindias in the 19th century.
Today the Narwar fort stands in a dilapidated state but once stood second in magnificence to the Gwalior fort. The flat ceilings, fluted columns and multifoil arches are typical in construction. The internal walls are adorned with bright paint and glass beads.
Narwar is 122 km from Gwalior.
