The city is known
for its palaces and proximity to various attractions. Aside

Mysore won't be called the City of Palaces without
mentioning some of these architectures. Some of the prominent

Palace. These architectures exhibit a mixture of architectural
styles from Dravidian, Roman, and Oriental influences. |
