Teave
Kiired faktid: A stunning example of colonial architecture blending European and Indian influences, the Residency was the site of a crucial 87-day siege in 1857 during the Indian Rebellion. Visitors can explore extensive ruins alongside beautifully preserved buildings within a peaceful garden complex.
Esiletõstmised: The Residency's central clock tower still stands as a silent witness to the siege, bearing scars from bullets and cannonballs. The grounds feature hundreds of plaques commemorating British soldiers and local heroes who lived and died during the conflict, offering a deeply personal historical experience.
