Gol Gumbaz

Gol Gumbaz is one of India's greatest architectural wonders — the mausoleum of Adil Shah II, completed in 1656, housing the world's second-largest dome after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Its famous Whispering Gallery amplifies even the softest sound seven times around the interior. A top Bijapur sightseeing landmark and Karnataka heritage destination. Entry fee applies; best visited early morning. The massive 44-metre dome dominates Bijapur's skyline and is visible from across the city.
