Deeg Palace is a part of Deeg Fort which is one of the most enigmatic yet charming features of a visit to Rajasthan. The central citadel of the fort was set up in 1730 is square in layout and stands on a slightly raised ground. The entrance to the Deeg Fort is by a bridge in the north and through a gateway protected with anti-elephant spikes. The whole monument is encircled by a shallow wide moat. The protective walls are 8 km in circumference pierced by 10 gateways and studded with 72 bastions. The gateway to the fort is protected with anti-elephant strikes. The most impressive are huge towers haughtily piercing the sky. The towers are fitted with cannons to take a good shot at any approaching enemy.
The most impressive part of the fort is its huge towers which stand haughtily piercing the sky. There are 12 in all, the largest being the Lakha Burj in the north-west corner. These towers were fitted with cannons to take a good shot at any approaching enemy. The cannon of Lakha Burj is still preserved. The Suraj Mal Haveli is a nice structure, with its typical domes of the bangaldar style. In fact, such rounded roofs are the high point of Deeg's pleasure palaces too.
