Question

According to a recent UNESCO survey, which fort has been recognized as having the second longest continuous intact wall in the world after the Great Wall of China?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Kumbhalgarh Fort. Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan was recently recognized as having the world’s second longest continuous intact wall after the Great Wall of China. Located in the Aravalli Hills near Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh Fort is a major example of Rajput military architecture and defensive planning. The fort was built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, with Mandan serving as its chief architect. Due to its strategic location and strong fortifications, Kumbhalgarh was considered nearly impossible to conquer. Its defensive wall stretches approximately 36 km, has a width of 15–25 feet, and is protected by seven fortified gates. Kumbhalgarh Fort became part of UNESCO’s Hill Forts of Rajasthan World Heritage Site list in 2013. The fort complex contains more than 360 temples, including around 300 Jain temples and the Nilkanth Mahadev Temple. Kumbhalgarh Fort is historically important as the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, while Badal Mahal is located at its highest point.
