Buddhist shrines along with Jain constructions and Hindu places of worship and Fortresses are the leading structures of the Junagadh city.

Forts and Monuments in Junagadh are mainly comprised of Buddhist monuments, venerated shrines, mosque and stunning structures speckled all over the town. The Uparkot fort, Junagadh is formed around the Mauryan dynasty and remarkably homes the Tomb of Nuri Shah, Jami Masjid, the Buddhist caverns and the two multi-storyed baolis. As far as the mosque is concerned, only its carcasses are left. Moreover, the Buddhist caves belong to 200 B.C to 200 A.D and the epitome of outstanding architectural hobbyhorses in the shape of meditation rooms, air-conditioned rooms and grand arches with Gothic savor.

Last but not the least, is the shrine of Neminath and Mallinath appealingly ornamented temples of Jain religion and fantastically festooned Amba Mata temple of Hindus. We cannot commit a blunder of not talking about Nawabi palaces sprinkled over and done with jharokhas or intricately engraved balconies, striking gateways and wood carvings.
