Buland
Darwaza, the colossal triumphal arch, was built in 1575 on the southern wall
of the courtyard. It celebrates Akbar's conquest of Gujarat. The towering portal
has the height of 176 feet from ground level and 134 feet over the top step.
The grand recessed central arch is the most magnificent of its kind in the entire
range of Mughal architecture in India. Modest ornamentation with calligraphy
contains a famous line: The world is but a bridge: Pass over but build no houses
on it. The Buland Darwaza commands the landscape for miles.
