Unlike Delhi or Agra, it is not an ancient city, but was founded by British merchants in the late 17th century, and was the capital of India until 1911. The city retains many reminders of the Raj, including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Victoria Memorial, Kolkata’s most imposing and monumental marble edifice opened by the Prince of Wales in 1921. Many of the old buildings of the British era in Park Street now house government offices.
