its formal gardens & water courses, continues to be Kolkata's pride and
joy. It was constructed by Lord Curzon to commemorate the empire
at its peak. Designed by Sir William Emerson, it was completed in
1921.This is a extraordinary hybrid building, with italian statues over
its entrances, Moghul domes in its corners and tall elegant open
colonnades along its sides. Timings-10am to 4.30pm(Tuesday to sunday) |
