Nestled within its fortified walls lies a treasure trove of architectural marvels, each telling a unique tale of the city's past. Among these architectural gems is a magnificent gateway, its intricate details and towering structure captivating the imagination of visitors from around the world.\n\nThis gateway, though often overshadowed by the more famous Red Fort, is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture.
