The Gol Gumbaz Bijapur

Bijapur means the city of victory.

The Gol Gumbaz is the second largest dome in the world, 124 feet in diameter. The acoustics of the dome make it a whispering gallery. Any whispering on one side of the dome can be heard on the other side. Standing in the dome an echo can be heard 9 times (11 times with fading).
