Places of Interest
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.
Hawa Mahal
Built in 1799 A.D., the Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds is a major Rajput 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.
Amer Fort Palace
The 15th century Palace is an amalgamation of Rajasthani Hindu & Early Mughal
architecture and still quite well preserved. The most fascinating part of visit
to Amer Fort is the 1.5 kms uphill ride on 'elephant backs'.
