Ranjit Vilas Palace, Royal palace in Wankaner, India

The Ranjit Vilas Palace stands on a hilltop in the Gadhio Hills, overlooking the town of Wankaner and the Machchhu River across 225 acres.

The palace construction started in 1907 with Jamsaheb of Nawanagar Ranjitsinhji laying the foundation stone, serving as the royal residence until 2012.

The palace combines Venetian-Gothic, Italianate, Mughal, and Rajput architectural elements, featuring carved jharokha balconies and Gothic arches with Doric columns.

The three-story structure contains Italian marble flooring, Burma teak furniture, and chandeliers from Murano and Belgium, with parts converted into a museum.

The palace walls contain India's largest collection of hunting trophies and maintain a vintage car collection in its dedicated museum section.
