Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai, India Formerly known as Victoria Station, this Victorian Gothic Revival masterpiece is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most famous buildings in Mumbai. Built over 10 years from 1878, it's an outstanding example of how two cultures – British and Indian – influenced each other. British architects worked alongside Indian craftsmen to include details specific to Indian architectural tradition, like the remarkable stone dome and pointed arches typical of Indian palaces.
