Explore Mumbai by walking through these art deco buildings

<p>Sign up for a walk to discover two distinct genres of architecture &mdash; Art Deo and Victorian Neo-Gothic &mdash; separated by the iconic Oval Maidan</p>

The cluster of buildings, starting from Eros Cinema, which overlook the Oval Maidan, catch your eye for their symmetrical facade patterns, rounded balconies and interesting motifs. The Maidan separates these striking Art Deco buildings of the 20th century from the 19th-century public buildings, including the Bombay High Court and the University of Mumbai campus, which were constructed in the Victorian Neo-Gothic style of architecture. Last month, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) concluded the inspection of this precinct, which had been nominated by the Centre for a UNESCO World Heritage Site tag earlier this year.
