Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus)
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus, is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India, incorporating themes from traditional Indian architecture. Designed by British architect FW Stevens, the building became a symbol of Mumbai as the "Gothic City" and India's major international commercial port. Construction of the terminal began in 1878 and took 10 years to complete, using Victorian Gothic design based on late medieval Italian models. Its striking stone domes, towers, pointed arches and peculiar floor plans are close to traditional Indian palace architecture. It is an outstanding example of the fusion of two cultures, with British architects working with Indian craftsmen to incorporate Indian architectural traditions and styles to create a new style that is unique to Mumbai.
