This majestic structure was conceptualised in 1911 to welcome King George V and Queen Mary. However, they only got to see a cardboard version of the Gateway of India because the construction only started in 1915. Built with a vision to lay a striking first impression, this was once the entry point for all prominent Britishers and continues to be an entry point for incoming ferries even today.
Ferries for destinations like Elephanta Island and Alibaug depart from here. We suggest you carry the bare minimum of items with you here as the area gets crowded. Also, expect a security check before you can get to the monument. While in Fort, also check out these places - do note operations may be affected by Covid-19.
