    What's the story

    Mumbai, the financial heart of India, is also a city steeped in colonial history.

    Its landscape is adorned with buildings that echo the British Raj era, each telling its own story.

    These structures range from imposing edifices to those boasting delicate designs, all contributing to the rich historical fabric that makes Mumbai's architectural heritage truly remarkable.

    The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, established in 1903, is a testament to luxury and architectural splendor.

    Its Indo-Saracenic design, coupled with sweeping views of the Arabian Sea, has welcomed a host of royalty, dignitaries, and stars from around the world.

    This grand hotel is not merely a place to stay; it is a significant part of Mumbai's harbor and its historical allure.

    CST Station

    Its historical significance and beauty make it a true highlight of Mumbai's colonial past.

    The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Building, completed in 1893, is a striking piece of Gothic-revival architecture.

    It sits opposite CST Station and serves as the headquarters for Mumbai's civic administration.

    The building is renowned for its high ceilings and stained glass windows.

    Dominating the structure is an imposing central dome, making it a prominent landmark that stands out in the city's bustling landscape.

    Prince Wales Museum
