The largest monument of the fort, it is believed that Rani Padmini committed Jauhar, in once of these underground cellars. The palace is in ruins but generates historical as well as architectural interest. The original palace was believed to have been built by Rana Hamir after regaining the fort in the first siege. The Mewar power reached its acme during Rana Kumbha's time; he was a great patron of art and architecture, which is amply reflected in the palace.
The palace is approached through two gateways to the east. The first gate is the immense Badi Pol and the second is the more modest Tripolia. The palace also housed elephants, horse stables, and a Shiva temple. The jauhar committed by Padmini is believed to have taken place beneath the courtyard. Across the palace is the archaeological office, museum and the treasury building. The Singa Chowri Temple is nearby.
