The former military town of Khirki, that is now Aurangabad, needed adequate protection from the enemy and hence Malik Ambar, who designed and built the city, relied on his superior military prowess, the Mughal idea to protect it from the rising Maratha Empire was to construct a wall around the entire city. 

This wall had a total of 52 major and minor gates, giving Aurangabad the title of City of Gates. 

Out of these 52, 4 formed key entrances from the four directions. 

Mecca or Makai Gate faces west, Delhi Gate to the north, Jalna Gate to the east and Paithan Gate to the south. 

These gates are spread all over the old city's landscapes and will need you to rent a cab to go around. 

Notice how roads get narrower on the inside of the gates, indicating the enclosed heritage.
