#HutatmaChowk : Virtual Walk 13

After the demolitions of the walls of the Fort of Bombay in the 1860s, the location of its famed Church Gate became a very important public square, and an iconic crossroad. Two important monuments on the square give it the names it has been known by - the Flora Fountain and the Hutatma Smarak. Both have significant connections with events in the city's history. And around these two monuments are other remnants of the past that have stood the test of time and been witness to events that have shaped this city and the country! Join us for a virtual walk around #HutatmaChowk to know more about famed institutions that evolved inside and outside the erstwhile Fort's walls. NOTE: The virtual walk link will be shared a couple of hours before the event.
