Located in the eastern region of Uttar
Pradesh in India is this maze-like palace complex, a blend of European
and Arabic architecture and the brainchild of 18th-century ruler Nawab
Asaf-ud-Daula.
Bara Imambara's magnificent central arched hall-which stretches 50 meters long (roughly half the length of a soccer field) and about three stories high-is held up, amazingly, without any pillars, girders or beams, but with interlocking brickwork.
Another one of its mysteries is the Bhulbhulaiya, a dense labyrinth of more than 1,000 narrow stairway passages meant to thwart intruders -- some stairways lead to abrupt drops, others have dead ends. Roam around the secret maze, preferably with an approved guide, and explore the adjacent mosque and manicured gardens.
