This is the palace of the great King named Raja Raja Cholan who ruled some parts of Tamilnadu,India. He was the one who built the Thanjavur Brihadeeshwarar Temple.
The palace was built by the Nayak rulers around 1550 A.D. and subsequently renovated and enlarged by the Maratha rulers of Thanjavur. Though a portion is in ruins, much of it is still in its original beauty. Some government offices are located inside besides an art gallery, a library, the hall of music, the audience hall and even today in a portion lives the present legal heirs of the Thanjavur Marathas.The entrance of the palace has a large quadrangular courtyard. There are big gateways to the northern and eastern walls. The courtyard leads to a big multi-pillared hall. There is also a Vimanam like building. The Vimanam is 190 feet high and is an eight storied building called the Goodagapuram. This Goodagapuram was the watch tower for the palace and also the armory of the Thanjavur Kings till the first decade of the 19th century.
