Akbar's Palace

History of Akbar's Palace:

Akbar's Palace, Ajmer was built in 1570 A.D. by the great emperor named Akbar. Akbar's Palace in Ajmer in India was built to serve as a home to Akbar during his visits and pilgrimages to Ajmer. Akbar's Palace was made almost impregnable and unattackable by the two impressive stone walls that surrounded the palace.

Akbar's Palace, Rajasthan holds an important position in the history of Ajmer as it had acted as the platform for the historic meeting between Emperor Jahangir and Sir Thomas Roe of British East India Company.

During the British occupation in Ajmer, Akbar's Palace was converted into a munitions house. The palace was then renamed as the 'Rajputana Arsenal'.

A portion of Akbar's Palace was converted and changed into a museum in 1908. There is beautiful massive black marble idol of Goddess Kali in the palace. There are brilliant military armor and weapons on display at the palace turned museum.
