About Jaipur

Jaipur, la Città Rosa del Rajasthan, è una capitale reale di forti, palazzi e bazar sullo sfondo delle aspre colline Aravalli.

Le mura della città vecchia racchiudono una griglia di strade dipinte di rosa terracotta, tracciata nel Settecento dal maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Al suo cuore, il Palazzo della Città mescola stili rajput e moghul, la facciata a nido d'ape dell'Hawa Mahal, il Palazzo dei Venti, guarda dall'alto la strada, e i giganteschi strumenti astronomici di Jantar Mantar seguono ancora il sole.

Top-ranked sights in Jaipur: Palace of Wind (Hawa Mahal), City Palace, Jal Mahal (Water Palace).
