Makarpura Palace, Royal palace in Vadodara, India
The Makarpura Palace stands as a three-story structure divided into two sections, featuring over one hundred rooms with ornate brick walls and balconies.
Construction of the palace started in 1866 under Maharaja Khande Rao, with renovations and extensions completed by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III between 1883 and 1890.
The palace incorporates Italian Renaissance design elements throughout its architecture, including multifoil fountains and frame arches that diminish in size as they ascend.
The palace currently operates as No.17 Tetra School by the Indian Air Force, located approximately 10 kilometers from the center of Vadodara.
A Japanese-style garden spanning 130 acres surrounds the palace, complete with a swimming pool, swan-filled lake, and ivory fountains activated during royal visits.
