Prag Mahal Palace
In the afternoon visit the Italian-Gothic style Prag Mahal Palace that was built in 1838. It took 10 years to get built. Several Italian artisans were involved in its construction. Much of the palace was destroyed by an earthquake but what remains is still quite fascinating. There is a bell tower that overlooks the city, and a courtyard containing a Hindu temple.

Aaina Mahal
Next visit Aaina Mahal Palace that was built in 1750. It is a two story building with a Darbar Hall, Hall of Mirrors, and suites for the royal family. The palace was designed by a craftsman who trained for 17 years in Europe. The palace is designed on an Indo-European fusion style of architecture. All the construction materials were sourced locally. The fountains, mirrors and glass-work are still spectacular. A pendulum clock that is in sync with the Hindu calendar and doors inlaid with gold and ivory are some other attractions of the palace. The palace remains closed on Thursdays.
