Victoria Memorial Hall

The Victoria Memorial Hall in Kolkata stands as a symbol of the city and the British Raj, a tribute to Queen Victoria commissioned by the viceroy of India. Constructed over 15 years starting in 1906, this grand, white-marble building now houses a museum that chronicles the history of the Raj. Surrounded by English-style gardens, the memorial offers visitors a glimpse into the colonial past through its exhibits and the serene, landscaped grounds. The imposing structure and its lush surroundings provide a tangible link to the era of British rule in India.
