Some of the Famous Tourist Attractions in Lucknow:
BARA IMAMBARA
The magnificent Bara Imambara is one of Lucknow’s most exquisite and well-known tourist attractions. Tourists come to visit the splendor of the stunning maze on the top floor of the monument till date, it is largely responsible for the fame of this monument. The monument is said to be the largest structure in the world that has an unsupported construction of pillars. No type of wood or metal was used in the construction of the Bara Imambara. As a result, it is regarded as a top architectural wonder that displays beautiful old Mughal architecture.
BRITISH RESIDENCY OF LUCKNOW
The British East India Company’s generals were based in The Residency, commonly referred to as the Residential Complex. The British residential complex served as the British refugee camp until the uneasy hours came to an end during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, when the Indians rose up against the control of the British East India Company. There are three levels of the residency. Offices, libraries, the Begum Kothi, a mosque, and a restaurant that is no longer there were once housed there. A marble slab commemorating each soldier who took part in the Indian uprising is mounted on one of the residence’s walls. Additionally, it has a historic banquet hall with impressive wall and pillar carvings.
RUMI DARWAZA
The Rumi Darwaza Lucknow is a spectacular doorway in Lucknow’s old city that stands sixty feet tall. When touring Lucknow’s other two famous monuments, the Bara Imambara Lucknow and Chhota Imambara, you may easily find the monument because it is located perfectly between them. The Nawab Oudh, Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, constructed this magnificent gateway. Because the Rumi Darwaza was modeled after Turkey’s Bab-i-Humayun entryway, it is also known as the Turkish gate.
