Shaniwar Wada - The historical palace that stands to tell the glory of Maratha Empire.

The foundation of Shaniwar Wada was laid on Saturday, 10th January 1730, hence the name. It took around 2 years to complete the construction and the total cost incurred at that time was Rs.16,110.

There are around 5 Darwazas - the huge entrance and first darwaza being the Delhi Darwaza. The other four are Narayan Darwaza, Ganesh Darwaza, Khidki Darwaza and Mastani Darwaza.

The palace was of seven storeys initially but the other six wooden storeys collapsed in fire and only the stone base floor remains there to tell the story.
