A stunning complex of courtyards, gardens, and buildings in the heart of the Pink City, showcasing a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.
City Palace is a magnificent complex located in the heart of Jaipur. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II between 1729 and 1732, the palace complex represents a perfect blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles.
The palace complex includes several buildings, courtyards, galleries, and gardens. The Chandra Mahal (Moon Palace) within the complex still serves as the residence of the royal family, while a large portion has been converted into a museum displaying royal artifacts.
The complex features impressive structures like Mubarak Mahal (Welcome Palace), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience). The museum houses a remarkable collection of royal costumes, delicate Pashmina shawls, Benaras silk saris, and other royal memorabilia.
One of the highlights is the armory museum, which houses an impressive collection of weapons dating back to the 15th century. The intricate carvings, detailed paintings, and ornate decorations throughout the palace complex showcase the artistic excellence of that era.
