It is believed to be one of the very few ‘living forts’ in the world, as nearly one fourth of the old city's population still lives within the fort.

For this reason it is also known as the Golden Fort.Image source, David RossImage caption, This magical photograph captures St Michael's Mount in Cornwall and was taken by David Ross who waited until late at night - when all the tourists had gone home - to take this impressive snap!Image source, Daniel BurtonImage caption, Fancy living on a street this colourful!
