Built in the old classical style in 1721 by Maharaja Malhar Rao, the Nazar Bagh Palace is a three storey building with arcaded verandahs. It was used on ceremonial occasions by the ruling Gaekwads. The palace houses the heirlooms of the royal family including a solid gold and solid silver gun, the former weighs over 127kg (180lbs) and is drawn by a team of white bullocks on ceremonial occasions.

Nazarbaugh Palace was once a royal guesthouse, and now houses royal family heirlooms for public viewing (though the building is a little dilapidated). The former royal residence at Pratap Vilas Palace, now converted into the Railway Staff college, has an free entry, but you must ask for permission from the authorities who can also arrange a guided tour from 9am - 6pm.
