Etymology
The name is derived from the one given to the city by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1583. The name in
Indian languages generally is Ilāhābād; ilah being Arabic for "(a) god" (in this context from Din-i-Ilahi, the
religion founded by Akbar), and "-ābād" is Persian for "to construct or to create", which explains the
meaning of the name Illahabad as "God's creation".

The imprints of Britishers and Mughals can be seen in buildings, gardens

and places in Allahabad. The styles of buildings reflect a good mix of
western Gothic and Mughal architectures.

All Saints Cathedral, designed by great English architect William Emerson

who also designed Victoria Memorial of Calcutta. This cathedral is the most
beautiful building in city. Styled in 13th Century Gothic architecture,
building's interior is more beautiful than its exterior with high ceilings and
stone Gothic arches[9]. The All Saints’ Cathedral is
built of red and white stone, a

the summer heat. Conceived in a grand fashion, it has a domed pediment centre, arcade wings, stone
balustrades and engrained arches. It reflects a beautiful synthesis of Eastern and Western architectural
styles.

Khusro Bagh - The three sandstone mausoleums within this walled garden, present an exquisite example of
Mughal architecture.

cloisters.

The Old High Court and Public Offices - They are four-storied block. Made of sandstone and ashore these
were built by Colonel Pile in I 870 in the classical style. The Minto Park to the west of the ton has a
Memorial Pillar enriched with Royal medallions and four lions carrying the Imperial coronet. This was a
memorial pillar to the Royal Proclamation of the assumption of rule by the British crown in 1858. The
Municipal Museum adjoining the library is yet another colonial structure that is a treasure-trove of
archaeological artifacts.

The new Yamuna bridge built jointly by Hindustan Construction Company and Hyundai Engineering and
Construction, is India's first cable stayed four lane road bridge in India, representing modern design
structure.[10] This large bridge has two pylons made of concrete, which support a large part of bridge deck
