Ramna Gate (Mir Jumla Gate): Mir Jumla (1660-1663), a prominent subahdar of Bengal under Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, made a number of constructions, the first of which is Mir Jumla's gate, lately known as Ramna gate, on the Mymensingh road near Curzon Hall west of the old High Court Buildings. The gate was probably meant to guard the city from the north from the attacks of ‘Magh’ pirates.
