The Gateway of India is a monumental stone arch on the Mumbai waterfront at Apollo Bunder, overlooking the Arabian Sea. It was built to commemorate the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911, the first visit to India by a reigning British monarch, and was completed in 1924 to a design by the architect George Wittet in the Indo-Saracenic style, which blends Hindu and Islamic elements. In 1948, the last British troops to leave India passed through it. Long a reminder of the country's colonial history, the Gateway is also a symbol of its resilience, and it remains one of the most visited sites in Mumbai.
