The city was divided into nine blocks, two of which contained the state buildings and palaces, with the remaining seven allotted to the public. Huge ramparts were built, pierced by seven fortified gates.<ref name="Hist1">{{cite web |url=http://jaipur.rajasthan.gov.in/content/raj/jaipur/en/about-jaipur/history.html |title=About Jaipur |publisher=Government of Rajasthan |access-date=5 November 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103091000/http://jaipur.rajasthan.gov.in/content/raj/jaipur/en/about-jaipur/history.html |archive-date=3 November 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> The city is unusual among pre-modern Indian cities in the regularity of its streets, and the division of the city into six sectors by broad streets 34&nbsp;m (111&nbsp; ft) wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five-quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses the [[Hawa Mahal]] palace complex, formal gardens, and a small lake. [[Nahargarh Fort]], which was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city.<ref name="JDA" />
