Despite of their remorseless rule, I must say that the British Colonial
Era also gave India some of the most amazing architectural gems. One of
them is the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata. Built to highlight the glory
of British Empire in India, this monument amalgamates the best of Mughal
and British architectures. This imposing monument was inaugurated in
1921 paying tribute to Queen Victoria. At present, this monument has a
remarkable assemblage of maps, paintings, weapons, coins, sculptures,
artifacts, stamps, etc.
