Asirgarh Fort : One of the most well-known locations in the region is Asirgarh Fort, also called the Hansi Fort. It is also referred to locally as Prithviraj Chauhan ka Quila. The fort resembles coins from even earlier periods and is thought to have been originally constructed by Harshavardhana. According to legend, elements from the former fort were used to construct the current fort. Prithviraj Chauhan rebuilt the fort in the 12th century, and the British subsequently took control of it. George Thomas, a British officer, renovated the fort in the late 18th century. The mosque inside the fort, which has a flat ceiling and is supported by long pillars, was constructed after Prithviraj Chauhan was vanquished.As the fort was being rebuilt, George Thomas additionally put a large gate as the entrance.

Lohari Ragho : The Harappan Civilization was located at Lohari Ragho, which is on the outskirts of the metropolis. Three Pre-Harappan mounds are rumoured to have been discovered at the location during excavation. There were also remnants of the Harappan Civilisation discovered here. Red ware wheels, globular jugs, bowls, and vases that date to the Harappan period were also discovered here. The location has thus become a crucial location for the preservation as well as the study of the early periods of human settlements. Some other materials were said to date back to the early Rigvedic age. A few religious monuments from different historical periods are also present in the area.

Barsi Gate : The Barsi Gate, which rises 30 meters high, is a significant structure in the region. The entrance also has inscriptions from the time of Prithviraj Chauhan, or 1303 AD that provide a wealth of details about the building. For more than 850 years, it has acted as the entrance to the nearby village of Hansi. The gate was originally constructed to serve as the Hansi Fort's defences. The gate, which was built by Sultan Alaud-din Khilji and restored in 1522 AD under Ibrahim Lodhi's reign, is a beautiful illustration of the Sultanate architectural style.
