The Victoria Terminus (Video), now known as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, stands as a prime example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture in India. British architect F.W. Stevens designed the station. Construction on the site began in 1878 and lasted for more than 10 years.

Once completed, its stone dome, tall turrets, and graceful arches became a symbol for the blending of British and Indian culture. In addition to its aesthetic value, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a railway hub for intercity travel in Mumbai. More than three million rail commuters pass through the station every day.
