City Information
Kolkata is the proud intellectual capital of the country. The city has made outstanding contribution to the country in the field of arts, sciences, medicine, social reform and literature. The city retains some of the most striking colonial buildings of the country. It used to be the capital of the British East India Company and the evidence of the British colonization persists there in the city. The Victoria Memorial is a grand edifice constructed in the memory of Queen Victoria. This building houses a number of rare specimens of the historical preserves of the land. Howrah Bridge is another landmark that denotes the city of joy. This hanging bridge is an architectural marvel of the country. The second largest planetarium in Asia, the Birla Planetarium is another site that attracts attention of all regardless of their age. The recently built Vidyasagar Setu, another architectural marvel, connects both the banks of the Hooghly River. Jorasanko is the place where the ancestral house of Tagore is located. The Indian Museum is the oldest museum in India and houses a rare collection of artefacts. The Fort William, located near the Maidan, was constructed in 1781 after the unfortunate happenings of 1756 in which many British soldiers were killed by Siraj-Ud-Daula. The Eden Garden is a pleasantly laid out garden that now houses a renowned cricket ground by the same name. Other notable attractions of Kolkata include the Kali Mandir, from which the name of the city is derived; the Dalhousie Square (or BBD Bagh), the hub of Calcutta's administration and commerce; the St. Paul's Cathedral, the first cathedral in India; and the Marble Palace, which displays art forms of various European countries including Italy, The Netherlands, and England.
