City Palace - Udaipur

Udaipur has been an independent Indian Kingdom or "state" since the 11th century. Neither the Persian Moghuls or even the British ever "conquered" or ruled it. The current Raj & his family still live in a major portion of the City Palace - built in 1553. The remainder of the palace is open to the public.
