Aurangabad Cityscape

The "Burj" of the city wall which was constructed at the time of Aurangzeb, in Mughal era encircling the entire city. The wall was constructed to protect the city and had 52 "Darwajas" (gates). Such small burj were also provided within the wall to strengthen it and they also served the purpose of guard post where a sentry could stand and keep watch. Now the wall is destroyed and the reamins can be seen in some parts of the city. One such burj is this one at main Octroi Naka.By and large, the remaining portions of wall, burj and the Darwajas are encroached upon.
