The City Palace complex in the heart of Jaipur was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the early 18th century and is a stunning blend of Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural styles. The palace houses the Chandra Mahal (still the royal residence), the Mubarak Mahal textile museum, the Maharani Palace, armory, and the famous silver urns — the world's largest silver objects.
