                     Akbar"s Palace was built in 1570 A.D. by the great emperor Akbar. Akbar"s Palace in Ajmer 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.
During the British occupation 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.

Akbar"s Palace is a masterpiece work. The rooms in the palace are beautifully decorated. The palace is a grand and elaborate way to learn more and gain knowledge about the romantic yet tumultuous and disruptive history of the picturesque city of Ajmer. The palace is situated quite close to the railway station in Ajmer.
