Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai's Fort district was designed by Frederick William Stevens from an initial design by Axel Haig. The infobox lists Central Railway as client, and the text says the Great Indian Peninsula Railway built it. Construction began in 1878. The infobox gives completion on May 20, 1888, while the text says 1887.
The infobox calls the style Indo-Saracenic Victorian Gothic Revival, and the lead says Indo Gothic. It uses Indian sandstone and limestone, with Italian marble and glazed tiles. The station has 18 platforms, and the train shed is 1,200 feet (366 m) long.
UNESCO inscribed it in 2004. It was renamed in 1996 and again in 2017. A terrorist attack in 2008 killed 58 people and injured 104. It is the Central Railway's headquarters and a long-distance and suburban terminal. The article gives no visiting hours.
