The old city of Jodhpur is surrounded by a 10km long wall that was built 100 years after the city was founded. Jodhpur is called the blue city, due to its many blue-painted houses; it can be seen to best advantage from the Mehrangarh Fort, an old maharaja fort placed on a rock above the city. Jodhpur is also called sun city because sun can be seen shining almost in all seasons.
