Jaisalmer is a historic city located in the Thar desert in northern India near the border with Pakistan. Due to the characteristic color of the stone in this area, which was used as the basic building material, it is called the Golden City. It was founded in the 12th century and its rich history is evidenced by the beautiful architecture preserved intact. It is important to mention that Jaisalmer is visited not only by history and architecture enthusiasts, but also funs of regional handicrafts.
