The Victoria Memorial, located in Kolkata, is a memorial of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom who also carried the title of Empress of India. It currently serves as a museum and a tourist attraction. The memorial was designed by Sir William Emerson in an architectural style similar to Belfast City Hall. Built between 1906 and 1921, it is a majestic white marble building at the southern end of the Maidan and surrounded by a sprawling garden. A black bronze Angel of Victory, holding a bugle in her hand was placed at the apex of the dome above the Memorial.

St. Paul's Cathedral stands on the "island of attractions" in Kolkata. Its building was initiated by Bishop Wilson in 1839 and was completed in 1847, in Gothic style with stained glass windows and two frescoes in Florentine Renaissance style. A military engineer, Major William Nairn Forbes, designed the cathedral with the assistance of C.K. Robinson, modelling the tower and spire upon the Norwich Cathedral. The tower was rebuilt along the lines of Bell Harry Tower in Canterbury Cathedral following the 1934 Calcutta earthquake. St. Paul's was consecrated in 1874.

Howrah Bridge is a bridge that spans over the Hooghly River in West Bengal. It was originally named the New Howrah Bridge because it links the city of Howrah to its twin city Kolkata (Calcutta). But on 14th June, 1965 it was renamed to Rabindra Setu. However, still it is popularly known as the Howrah Bridge. The bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River. This sentimental landmark and identity of Kolkata and West Bengal, apart from bearing of many stormy weather of the Bay of Bengal region, it successfully bears the weight of a daily traffic of approx 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians.

Situated in 45 acres of Kolkata (Calcutta), the Alipore Zoological Gardens is India's oldest formally stated zoo park. Despite being one of the first zoos in the world to breed white tigers, due to lack of funding its rate of breeding rare species has not been particularly successful, although it can claim credit for bringing the Manipur Brow-antlered Deer (or Thamin) back from the brink of extinction. It lost its most famous resident in 2006, when "Addwaita", the Aldabra Giant Tortoise bequeathed to the zoo in 1875, died at a reputed age of over 250 years.
