Kashmiri Gate
Kashmiri Gate, located in Old Delhi, is a historic gateway built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century. It served as the northern entrance to the walled city of Shahjahanabad, the capital of the Mughal Empire.
The gate was named "Kashmiri Gate" because it faced the road leading to Kashmir. It played a significant role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, where Indian soldiers used it as a strategic defense point against British forces.
Evidence of cannonball damage from the battle can still be seen on the gate’s walls. During British rule, Kashmiri Gate became a key location, with the British reinforcing the city’s walls and establishing residential estates in the area.
Today, it remains a prominent landmark, connecting several major roads and serving as a hub for transportation, including the Kashmiri Gate Metro Station and the Inter-State Bus Terminal (ISBT).
