Lohagarh' means 'fort of iron'. and the fort was what its name suggested; virtually impregnable. Protected by deep moats on all sides, it was said that it could fall "only when a crocodile swallowed up all the water of the moat." It's obvious that the Jats did not believe in laxity. The fort sits on an artificial island in the middle of the town, with a somewhat forlorn look about it. Yet it is the focal point of Bharatpur today, just as it was of the town's history in the past. The fort has three palaces within its premises- kishori Mahal, Mahal Khas, Kothi Khas.

Gorvenment Museum is located in the centre of the Lohagarh Fort, the Bharatpur Museum houses a rich collection of archaeological wealth of the nearby areas as well as from the old Bharatpur State . In this Museum there are also a wide range of weapons used in battles by the Jat rulers, beautiful paintings, manuscripts, zoological specimen, local art and craft that was once Bharatpur that are very beautiful.
