Municipal Corporation Building, Mumbai, Gothic government building in South Mumbai, India.

The Municipal Corporation Building combines Venetian Gothic and Indo-Saracenic architectural styles with a central dome reaching 71.5 meters and a 77.7-meter tower.

The foundation stone was laid by Viceroy Lord Ripon in 1884, and architect Frederick William Stevens completed the construction in 1893 for 1.1 million rupees.

The building represents British colonial architecture with its basalt rock exterior, cusped window arches, and ornate corner towers reflecting late 19th-century design principles.

The structure serves as headquarters for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, managing administrative operations for India's largest civic organization.

Four minarets with small domes mark the corners of the building, while animal sculptures including gargoyles and lions adorn the exterior facades.
