The Residency |
|
Built by the Nawabs of Oudh for the British resident between the years 1780 and 1800, it became the last outpost of the English Resistance. It faced heavy bombardment and cannon firings during the mutiny of 1857. Most of the original structures, such as Begum Kothi, were left standing to impede direct fire from the enemy. Surrounding it is an arrangement of terraced lawns which are beautifully floodlit at night. |
