Moti Palace is a residential complex on outskirts of Patiala, and was built as one of the largest residences in the world.

The old quarters were build in 1840s by Maharaja of Patiala, and was expanded in 1920s. It currently houses a museum, a stuffed animal gallery, and North Zone Cultural Centre.

The old Moti Palace has since been converted into a museum, while the adjoining new Moti Palace houses National Institute of Sports, or NIS Patiala.
