One of the first concrete structures built in Mumbai, the Gateway of India is not a stone structure as it appears from even close views!!! |
|  | Flora Fountain This is one of the very few fountains that one will find in Mumbai!!! The surrounding area in Fort is known as Fountain after this monument!!! |
| Freedom Monument and Eternal Flame |
| | Hutatma Chowk and the Eternal Flame This is a monument built in memory of the martyrs of the Free Maharashtra movement and very recently an eternal flame has been installed in memory of those who died. |
| | St. Thomas' Cathedral The St. Thomas' Cathedral was first built as a church when the foundation stone was laid in 1676 and was later completed in 1718 after a long time as there were several problems inbetween. In July 1837 the church became a cathedral when Dr. Thomas Carr was appointed the Bishop of Bombay. St. Thomas' Cathedral is open on all days from 7am to 6pm. |

| | The Bombay High Court The Bombay High Court is situated just next to the Rajabai Tower in the Fort area of Mumbai. |
| | Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue This is a Jewish Synagogue one of the two built by David Sassoon's family at Forbes Street in the heart of the city's business district known as Kala Ghoda (Black Horse) after a statue of the King George V on a black horse which is no longer there but the name still remains!!! HAHAHA!!! There is a very small Jewish community still living in India and there are a few of their places of worship also surviving since the olden times!!! |
