The Rumi Darwaza (Hindi: रूमी दरवाज़ा, Urdu: رومی دروازه, and sometimes known as the Turkish Gate), in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, is a gateway which was built by Nawab Asaf-Ud-Daula in 1784.

[1] The Rumi Darwaza stands sixty feet tall[2] and was modeled after the Sublime Porte (Bab-i-Hümayun/بابِ همایون) in Istanbul.

When the city grew and expanded, it was used as an entrance to a palace which was later demolished by the British Raj following the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Rumi refers to Rûm, the historical name used by the Islamic world to denote the region roughly corresponding to Anatolia, or the dominion of the former Eastern Roman Empire.

The design consists of a big arch and on top of that, there is a half-spherical dome resting on half-octagonal plan.
