Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai

The ensemble comprises 94 buildings divided between Victorian Gothic structures on the eastern side and Art Deco edifices on the western side of Oval Maidan.

These architectural complexes emerged during two major urban expansions, with Victorian buildings constructed in the 1870s and Art Deco structures rising in the 1930s.

The buildings demonstrate the fusion of British architectural styles with Indian design elements, reflecting Mumbai's transformation into a major international port city.

Visitors can explore the entire architectural collection by walking around the Oval Maidan's perimeter, where informative signs identify UNESCO-designated structures.

The site presents the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in Asia, featuring the Bombay High Court, University of Mumbai, and numerous residential structures along Marine Drive.
