Chanderi Fort

• The Chanderi Fort is the most renowned monument of Chanderi. The fort stands at a height of 71 m above the town on a hill. The fort is fortified with a 5km long wall. 
• The Chanderi Fort dates back to the Mughal period. The Muslim rulers took a lot of initiative to construct the fortification of the walls as it has witnessed several attacks, thus being rebuilt a number of times. 
• The Chanderi Fort is approached through three gates. The first and the main gate is known as ‘KhooniDarwaza’. It is so named because the criminals were thrown from the battlements above and their bodies crashed below.
• The uppermost gate ‘HawaPur’ is the third and highest gate of the Chanderi Fort. The southwest- side of the fort has a gate called the ‘Kati-Ghati’. 
• The remnant of the Fort includes the Khilji Mosque, Naukhada Palace, Tomb of Hazrat Abdul Rahmanetc that are present within the fort complex.
