A major stronghold during the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, this majestic fort was built by 
Raja Bir Singh Ji Deo, in 1613. The fort was transferred to the maharaja of Scindia in 1858, but later exchanged for Gwalior in 1866. Being located on a rocky hill, it offers wonderful views of the city. This huge fort, with ten gates, was built in order to act as an army stronghold and garrison but was later modified into residential quarters. The fort also has a museum, which is known for a wonderful collection of sculptures and provides an excellent insight into the lively history of Bundelkhand. A statue of the queen (Lakshmi Bai) is also installed on the way to the fort.

The city is known for its resistance against the British in 1857. In fact, wherever you go in the city, you 
will find some or other place or monument that reminds of the bloodbath of 1857. Jhansi Fort that is situated a kilometer off to the town was the seat of the siege that followed the revolt. It was here that the 12th Native Regiment of the Royal British Armed Force stated the mutiny by ruthlessly murdering the British Resident and citizens of the Fort. Close by is Rani Mahal that was the seat of various conspiracies that were hatched by Tantya Tope ,Lakshmi Bai and Nana Sahib.
