Sightseeing
The City Palace
In the heart of the old city lies the royal residence of the erstwhile King
of Jaipur. Built using a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles, the palace
has carved arches, supported by grey-white marble columns, decorated with
floral motifs created with gold and colored stones. Two carved marble
elephants guard the entrance. The palace houses a Museum with a superb
collection of Rajasthani costumes. The museum also houses an armoury of
Mughal and Rajput weaponry, with swords of different shapes and sizes with
ornamental handles - some of them inlaid with enamel and embellished with
jewels and encased in magnificent scabbards.

landmark. This five-storied building along the main street of the old city
is a pink sandstone masterpiece with semi-octagonal and delicately
honeycombed windows. The monument was originally conceived with the aim of
enabling ladies of the royal household to watch the everyday life and royal
processions in the city – in absolute privacy.
