National Library (Belvedere)


The National Library, formerly known as Belvedere, was once the home of the Lieutenant-Governors of Bengal. At a later period, it has also been the winter residence of the British Viceroys. An architectural hotchpotch as far as style and proportion are concerned, it one the well-maintained palaces that still lends the city its quaint charm. Today, it houses a library, a treasure house for book-lovers and research students.
