Kamalapati Palace is located on the bridge, between the larger and the smaller lake of Bhopal.

Built in 1722, it is named after Rani Kamlapati the widow Gond ruler of Nizam Shah, Chief of Ginnorgarh.

The palace has been designated as a Monument of National Importance by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

Kamalapati Palace lies on the eastern side of the ancient embankment known as Bhojpal, built by the Parmara Rajput King Bhoj (AD 1010–1055) from which the present name Bhopal is derived.

Kamlapati palace is an example of contemporary secular architecture of the early eighteenth century and the earliest extant example in the Bhopal Town.
