Great historical place with having beautiful lake inside fort. The fort offers panaromic bird eye view of Siwana town. This fort standing on red coloured volcanic rhyolites is nice exploration destination for geology lovers. Easily accessible by road from Siwana Bus stand. However parking space is not available. Road side beautifully constructed houses are also offer great experience.

Very old and amazing fort in siwana town Siwana fort Is key of rajasthan Mountain fort.
The ruined Siwana fort (Gadh Siwana) is situated on a hilltop. According to bardic tradition, Siwana was established by Vira-narayana, a son of the 11th century parmara king Bhoja. In 1308, Alauddin Khalji of Delhi Sultanate defeated Sitala Deva, the local ruler. To commemorate Sitala Deva's heroic defence of the fort, an annual fair called the Kalyan Singh Ka Mela is still held within the precincts of the fort in the month of Shraavana (July-Aug). Later, in the period 1318-20, Luntiga Chauhan stormed the fort of Siwana and slaughtered its Muslim garrison. It was later captured by the Rathors of Marwar and remained a part of Marwar till independence of India. Siwana was the capital of Rao Chandrasen Rathore when he had opposed the Mughal emperor. Siwana was captured by Padshah Akbar in 1576, but was later restored to Raja Udai Singh of Marwar. The city lies in between mountains of Aravali Ranges on around. The only one of biggest Dam of Barmer district Meli bandh is at 7 km from Siwana. The main occupation is farming. Bajra (pearl millet), Moong (greengram), Til (seasamum) & jowar(sorghum) are main Productions in Rainy season. Jeera(Cumin), Erendi(Castor), Mustard & veggies in winter are mainly the yields .
Best place for Tourists
Now this fort looks good from outside, the inside is now almost completely transformed into ruins. Despite it being only historical fort of Barmer district, it is also not well maintained. The entire complex of the fort is surrounded by bushes, due to which its complete excursion is impossible. Now especially only one can for see is the pond of water. However, no fee is charged for visiting the fort, so everyone can see it.
Not a beautiful place to visit but historical one
Siwana fort is a good history and very safe palace for Rajput Kings.
