Barsi Gate is the most photogenic of the five surviving city gates that mark the old walled limits of Hansi. It guarded the southern road to Barsi (in present-day Bhiwani district) and is one of the oldest standing structures in town, dating in its present form to the early thirteenth-century Sultanate period with later Mughal repairs.
The gate is a tall pointed-arch brick structure flanked by two squat towers, with the masonry visibly patched over several centuries. It still functions as a road gate — auto-rickshaws and motorbikes squeeze through under the arch. The other four gates — Delhi (east), Hisar (west), Gosain (northwest) and Umra (southwest) — are less well preserved but mark the same medieval footprint.
