Hey @Ivi_Ge

This is actually in the Pakistani city of Lahore. Lahore in the olden times was a city of gates (13 gates to be exact), which is also how the city got its name. As the city expanded, what is left of the old city are the buildings and the facade of the old gates. So Delhi Gate was one of the many famous gates (namely Bhatti, Lohari, Yakki Gate) etc. More deets below
