The Rumi Darwaza (Hindi: रूमी दरवाज़ा, Urdu: رومی دروازه, and sometimes known as the Turkish Gate), in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, is a gateway which was built by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daula in 1784.[1] It is an example of Awadhi architecture.[1] The Rumi Darwaza stands sixty feet tall[2] and was modeled after the Sublime Porte (Bab-iHümayun) in Istanbul.[3]
It is adjacent to the Asafi Imambara, Teele Wali Masjid and has become a symbol for the city of Lucknow. It used to mark the entrance to Old Lucknow. When the city grew and expanded, it was used as an entrance to a palace which was later demolished by the British Raj following the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
