Victoria Memorial

About This Location

Victoria Memorial, built between 1906 and 1921 as a memorial to Queen Victoria, is Kolkata's most magnificent building — a white Makrana marble structure blending Mughal and Italian Renaissance architecture. Set in 64 acres of Victorian-era gardens, the memorial's grand dome, tall minarets, and symmetrical reflection pool create imposing imperial backdrops. The gardens are free to walk in from dawn.
