One cannot miss the blue dome of this structure even from a
distance. Sabz Burj is located at
junction of Mathura Road and Lodhi Road. It is on the way to Humayun’ s Tomb. Another monument located on Lodhi Road is Gol Gumbad.

The top of the dome is made up of tiles, which are blue in
color. It is also known as Neeli
Chhatri.
Sabz Burj literally means Green Dome. But there is no sign
of green color on it. On this Rohan told me that , originally the dome was green
in color. In the restoration process the
color changed to blue. On the drum of
it, I could see multi colored tiles, which have fallen off. Sadly no one
thought of restoring it. Even the walls
of it, are not painted. One think worth commenting is that the structure is in
good state with no graffiti on it.

Entry in it restricted. One can only see it from the
outside.
There is no information available on who built it? Is it a
Tomb? If yes then whose Tomb is it?
