Overview

Nestled in the heart of Jaipur, the City Palace is a magnificent symbol of Rajasthan’s regal past, seamlessly blending Mughal, Rajput, and European architectural styles. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1727, the palace complex is a sprawling blend of courtyards, gardens, and majestic buildings that once served as the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur.

The City Palace is not just a historical monument—it's a living piece of heritage. Part of it still serves as the residence of the Jaipur royal family, while the rest is open to the public, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the royals. The palace houses several stunning sections, including the Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Diwan-i-Khas, and Diwan-i-Aam, each showcasing priceless artifacts, royal costumes, weaponry, and ancient manuscripts.

One of the major highlights is the four beautifully decorated doorways (Pritam Niwas Chowk), each representing a season and dedicated to a Hindu deity, often a favorite spot for photographers and art lovers. The museum within the palace complex offers a rich insight into Jaipur’s cultural and royal legacy.
