Mazagaon Court

Built in 1861 this is the first Bagdadi Jew Synagogue in Mumbai. The Bagdadi Jews started arriving in Mumbai (then Bomay ) in the early decades of the 19th century. During that time they are welcomed by the Bene Israel (Children of Israel) community to pray in their synagogue. By the middle of the 19th century the Bagdadi Jew community was large enough to have their own congregations along with their own synagogue. The Magen David Synagogue was completed in 1861 and was funded by David Sassoon. Unlike the Mumbai's previous synagogues, which were built in the local or a Middle Eastern style, Magen David was built in a European style and was complete with a clock tower, something unusual for a synagogue. The synagogue was extended in 1910 with the addition of matching side bays on both sides. The synagogue was built in neo-classical style with freely conceived local elements. Four slender columns support the flat-roofed porch. The porch contains the ten commandments written in Hebrew and the Magen David Synagogue written in English is flanked on either side by two stars of David. The interior of the synagogue is a double-height sanctuary with women’s gallery wrapping around three sides of the upper floor. The four corners of the brass fabricated central platform is fitted with brass light sheds. In the 2010s the exterior and interior of the Magen David Synagogue have been painted blue and white. The white florescent white light in the blue - white backdrop creates a feast for the eyes. The large complex of the Magen David Synagogue also houses two schools run by Jewish trust (students of other religion are also welcome) and the warden house.

Byculla is also known for Mumbai's first Y-shaped bridge built across Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Road which then splits further to go to Byculla East and West before the Clare Road intersection, thereby forming a Y shape when seen from the air. This was one of the oldest flyovers built in Mumbai.

This is one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Mumbai built by the Portuguese Franciscans in 1632. The present structure dates back to 1913. The grey stone steeple of the church rises to a height of 160 feet. It is the tallest church steeple in Mumbai. The church follows the Gothic style of architecture with pointed arches. The church is 205 feet long and 65 feet broad and the interiors contain 5 altars.

A park atop Bhandarwada Hill and offers a panoramic view of the Mumbai Harbour and the southern business district of the city. Beneath the gardens is a water reservoir, constructed between 1880–1884. The park is frequented by neighbourhood residents. It is mostly patronised by couples, joggers, senior citizens, and students who find peaceful corners to study. Cycas, ixora, musanda, bougainvillea, and hibiscus are some of the plants found in the garden.

The zoo was established during British times and named "Victoria Gardens". After India's independence, the zoo is renamed after Shivaji's mother Jijabai, and is popularly known as Rani Baug (queen's garden). The place is not really worth visiting as it has been called more of a prison for animals than a zoo in the modern sense.

Mumbai once had a flourishing Chinatown, today the Kuan Kung Temple in Mazagaon is the only remaining trace of the once vibrant Chinese community of Mumbai. After the 1962 Sino-Indian War, most Chinese were viewed as traitors, and left town. The temple is housed in a two-storey building, with bright red entry doors. Wooden stairs lead to the first floor housing a shrine of Kwan Tai Kwon, the Chinese god of war. There is a painting above the altar of the Chinese gods of justice, protection, and courage. It is thronged by devotes and the local Chinese population during the Chinese New Year and Moon festival.
