Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, formerly Victoria Terminus, is a historic railway terminus and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mumbai which serves as the headquarters of the Central Railway. The station has been designed by Frederick William Stevens.
It is an outstanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India, blended with themes deriving from Indian traditional architecture. It became the symbol of Bombay as the Gothic City and the major international mercantile port of India. Its remarkable stone dome, turrets, pointed arches and eccentric ground plan are close to traditional Indian palace architecture.
