हवा महल का निर्माण जयपुर में महाराजा प्रताप सिंह ने वर्ष १७९९ में करवाया था. हवा महल जयपुर पर्यटन का प्रतीक है. हवा महल एक मुकुट के आकार में बना पांच मंजिला महल है जिसमे ९०० खिड़कियाँ व झरोखे हैं.

सवाई प्रताप सिंह भगवान श्री कृष्ण के अनन्य भक्त थे और उन्होंने हवा महल अपने आराध्य देव को ही समर्पित किया था. हवा महल का निर्माण विशेष रूप से राज घराने की महिलाओं के लिये कराया गया था. हवा महल की खिड़कियों के पीछे से राज घराने की महिलायें नीचे बाजार में होने वाली सभी गतिविधियां तथा शोभायात्रा, जुलूस आदि देख सकती थीं जबकि नीचे से ऊपर की और देखने पर हवा महल की खिड़कियों के पीछे इन महिलाओं को नहीं देखा जा सकता था.

इस प्रकार हवा महल जयपुर की विश्व प्रसिद्ध भवन निर्माण व वास्तु कला का एक अनुपम उदाहरण है.
