Roomi Gate Lucknow

Roomi Gate Lucknow -

This looks so beautiful that you may not resist your temptation to climb up the stairs due to renovation, it is prohibited. Roomi Gate (Darwaza) called the signature building of Lucknow and also called Turkish Gate. Since it was made by workers from Rome, hence its name is Roomi Gate (Darwaza). The architecture design was made Kifayatullah and it is standing to the west of Bara Imambara. Now Rommi Gate is glowing with lights in the night. People came and take snaps with Roomi Darwaza and spend time over here.

Being an entrance to the city of Lucknow, Russell, the reporter of The New York Times who accompanied the victorious British army that entered Lucknow in 1858, after India’s First War of Independence, had called the stretch of road from Rumi Darwaza to Chattar Manzil the most beautiful and spectacular cityscape that he had ever seen, better than Rome, Paris, London and Constantinople. It is adjacent to the Asafi Imambara in Lucknow and has become a logo for the city of Lucknow. It used to mark the entrance to Old Lucknow City, but as the City of Nawabs grew and expanded, it was later used as an entrance to a palace which was later demolished by the British insurgents.
