Hawa Mahal: Also known as the Palace of Winds located in the heart of Jaipur, India.
This structure was built in 1799 was built by King Pratap Singh and was intended to have this as viewing windows for the Royal family. However, the structure and the windows were built in such a way that it acts as a natural air cooler and prevents the palace from getting warm in the summer (temp > 45F). :-) There are a total of 953 windows.
