Jantar Mantar “Observatory”—Built by the founder of Jaipur, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh. The huge stone instruments were devised to study the movements of the sun, moon, and planets and are incredibly accurate.
City Palace—Located in the center of the city, it is partly open to the public, while the rest remains Maharaja’s residence. Most of the complex has been developed into a museum containing rare manuscripts, fine specimens of Rajput and Mughal paintings, royal apparel, and an armory.
