its at Kolkata the capital of West Bengal
The Victoria Memorial was built at a time when the British Raj was at its culminating point and hence it is no wonder that it represents the architectural climax of the city. It was Viceroy Lord Curzon who specified its classical style but the actual plan was laid down by the renowned architect Sir William Emerson. Its architectural details had a strong influence of the English civic baroque architecture of the period, particularly the Belfast City Hall.
This grandiloquent structure presently houses a museum of British India memorabilia. In the evening, special Son et Lumière shows on the historical themes are held in the park. Every day, crowds of people visit the premises from early morning to sunset. Being one of the most popular tourist spot in the city, it is one of the few well-maintained heritage buildings that exist in the city today.
Location : Opposite to the Planetarium on the Southern side of Maidan.
Famous as : Raj Era Monument.
Time to visit : From March to October - 10.00 to 17.00 From November to February - 10.00 to 16.00 Sound & Light show - 7.15 to 8 P. M. Victoria Memorial is closed on Monday.
How to reach : Local buses and taxis are available from various points of the city. One can also avail the Metro Rail and get down at Maidan. From Maidan one can hop into a local bus or hire a taxi.
