Rumi Darwaza, or the Turkish Gate, is a majestic 60-foot-tall gateway built in 1784 under Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula. Designed in Turkish architectural style, it features intricate detailing, arched niches, and a large central arch. Once serving as the entrance to the old city, it now stands as an iconic landmark. Visitors can admire its grandeur from the outside and photograph its ornate facade, which is especially impressive at sunset.
