A lot of people search about (ग्वालियर किला की कहानी) story of Gwalior Fort ghost(Gwalior Kila bhoot) or Gwalior Kila ka rahasya, so I do not believe in such stories so I haven't discussed about Gwalior Fort horror story.

So, ask Gwalior Kila kisne banaya tha(ग्वालियर किला किसने बनवाया था), so it was ruled by a lot of rulers but man building Man Singh palace was built by the then king Man Singh Tomar. If you visit this fort, you can also visit a popular temple known as Gwalior Kila saas bahu ka mandir.
The Gwalior Fort, also known as the Gwāliiyar Qila, is known to be a hill fort in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. The fort has known to exist since the 10th century, and the inscriptions as well as the monuments found in the fort premises indicate that it might have existed as early as the starting of the 6th century. The modern-day Gwalior fort, embodies a defensive structure and two important palaces built by the Tomar Rajput ruler Man Singh Tomar. The fort has been under the rule of a number of various rulers in its history.
The present-day Gwalior Kila consists of two main palaces, known as Man Singh Palace or Man Mandir and Gujari Mahal, both of which were built by Tomar Rajput ruler Man Singh Tomar (reigned 1486-1516 CE), the latter palace for his beloved wife, Queen Mrignayani. As a matter of fact, world's second oldest record of "zero" was also found in a small temple located on the way to the top of the fort. The inscription is said to be around 1500 years old.
The exact period of construction of Gwalior Fort is uncertain. However, as per a local legend, the fort was made by a local king named Suraj Sen in 3 CE. It is said that he was cured of leprosy, when a sage whose name was Gwalipa offered him water from a nearby sacred pond, which is now within the fort. The grateful king built a fort, and named it after the holy sage. The sage then bestowed the title Pal ("protector") upon the king, and said that the fort would remain in the possession of his family, as long as they bear this title. It is believed that 83 descendants of Suraj Sen Pal controlled the fort, but the 84th, whose name was Tej Karan, lost it.
A Gwalior Fort inscription says that a sun temple was built during the reign of the Huna emperor Mihirakula in early 6th century. The popular Teli ka Mandir, now situated within the fort, was known to be made by the Gurjara-Pratiharas in the 9th century.
The fort is believed to be definitely existed by the 10th century, when it is mentioned in the records of history. The Kachchhapaghatas controlled this enormous fort at that time, most probably as feudatories of the Chandelas. From 11th century, the Muslim dynasties started attacking the fort a number of times. In the year 1022 CE, Mahmud of Ghazni besieged the Gwalior Kila for four long days. As per Tabaqat-i-Akbari, he lifted the siege but in return he took a tribute of 35 elephants. Bahauddin Tourghil, who was known to be a senior slave of the Ghurid ruler Muhammad of Ghor captured in the fort in the year 1196 after a long siege. The Delhi Sultanate also lost the fort for a short period before it was recaptured by the ruler Iltutmish in the year 1232 CE.
In the year 1398, the fort was said to be under the control of the Tomars. The most well known Tomar rulers was Maan Singh, who built several monuments within the fort premises. The Delhi Sultan Sikander Lodi tried to capture this fort in the year 1505 but was unsuccessful. Another attack, by his son Ibrahim Lodi in the year 1516, resulted in Maan Singh's death. The Tomars finally surrendered the fort to the Delhi Sultanate after one year long siege.
