Treasury building. A landmark building on the main commercial district of Kolkata #stunningstructures
Against blue skies green surroundings, #red and its variants is what makes Kolkata stand out
Built in 1864, Calcutta General Post office (or GPO as it is popularly known), is a landmark in central business district, with its high doomed roof over a huge rotunda at the corner and a set of Ionian-Corinthian pillars along the corridors on adjacent sides. Along the east wall, almost at the north end of the GPO is a brass line which marks off the site of the old fort destroyed by Nawab Siraj-ud-daula when he attacked the British settlement in 1756. #stunningstructures
St John's Church in Kolkata takes pride in its graceful architecture modeled by Lt James Agg apparently on the lines of the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields in England. #stunningstuctures
