Kans Quila, Mathura

This is believed to be the residence of King Kansa, maternal uncle of Sri Krishna, who tried to kill him several times.
The fort, therefore is believed to be 5500 years old, but history indicates that it was destroyed & rebuilt several times.
Raja Man Singh was also believed ti have constructed an observatory Jantar Mantar, there but it has since been destroyed.
For a fort of such provenance, it is overrun by monkeys and one has to risk the loss of spectacles, mobiles, handbags etc to visit the fort.
The entrance itself is in total shambles and very few risk going there.

Plz don't go to visit Kans Quila, it is really abandoned by people and government also. Waste of time. Not even visit to near by area also the Yamuna water is very polluted. Don't know these Mathura people living.

Beautiful historical structure. It's closed so you can see it from the outside.

An old ancient place. If you have watched shri krishna leela serial on TV in bachpan then you will be eager to see this as i was , because the place will be more attractive if you are remembering with a story. Peace is here no doubt 🧐 , also you can see a great view of the City and Shri yamunaji from the above of this kila , at last i wanna suggest if you are visiting mathura do visit it once with the vishram ghat , and do not forget to remember the story 😅

Historical place where we feel reality and we can see old Mathura & very beautiful view of Yamuna river.

Nice and clean, locals and tourists don't get along very well. If you visit a new place try to live like a local. Else stay at home.

On the banks of river Yamuna, this fort is built over a large area and has highly fortified walls.
Now there is ruins only.The structure reflects a beautiful Hindu architectural styles and destruction caused by Mughals.
This is because the fort passed through several hands during its journey. It is said that Raja Man Singh of Amber renovated the fort in the 16th century while Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh of Jaipur built an observatory there. However, there is no sign of the observatory now.
