Thirumalai Nayak Palace is a 17th-century palace erected in 1636 CE by King Tirumala Nayaka, a king of Madurai’s Nayaka dynasty who ruled Madurai from 1623 to 1659, in the city of Madurai, India.
The palace is a classic fusion of Italian and Rajput styles. The building, which can be seen today, was the main palace, in which the king lived.
The original palace complex was four times bigger than the present structure. In its heyday, the palace was considered to be one of the wonders of the South.
The palace is located two kilometres south east of the Meenakshi Amman Temple.
