History:

The City Palace, Udaipur has a similar age of the city itself, both made at the same time. But during the next 400 years, the administration took a deep interest in building and rebuilding it several times. during 568 AD, the land of the palace was the property of the Mewars. In the 16th century, Maharaja Uday Singh inherited the property. Later when the capital city Chittor of his reign was under war, he decided to move the capital of his kingdom somewhere nearby Lake Pichola. This is when City Palace became the new capital. He actually found this site when he was on hunting one day. The royal courtyard was the first structure made for the City Palace.

Maharaja Uday Singh II died during the construction of this palace, and his son then carried on the process. However, during the war of Haldighati, City Palace was owned by Mughal Samrat Akbar. Later, the Rajputs took back the ownership and continued its construction work once again. And, it continued until the 19th century, when the British came into India and captured the palace. But even during the British rule, the Rajputs constructed much-disguised structures inside the palace complex. After the independence of India, the ownership of City palace went into the hands of the Indian Government.
