Pratap Vilas Palace
પ્રતાપ વિલાસ પેલેસ
A princely palace built between 1907 and 1915, blending Victorian Gothic and Indo-Saracenic styles, with a row of domes on its roof.
Pratap Vilas Palace was built under Ranjitsinhji, the famous cricketer and ruler of Jamnagar. Its style follows the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata. The exterior is carved with flowers and animals, the roof is dotted with glass domes, and large gardens surround it. The palace remains private royal property and is generally not open to the public, so you can only admire it from outside the gate. Occasional special openings are announced in advance locally. It is in the northwest of the old town, about 2 km from the railway station, and you can get there and back by auto-rickshaw.
