Fort, Mumbai
A Gothic Revival monument built in 1864 to commemorate Sir Bartle Frere, the Governor of Bombay whose reclamation and infrastructure projects reshaped the city's Fort district. Standing at a busy traffic junction, its ornate stone carvings and figures make it one of colonial Bombay's most elaborate civic fountains. It has become an unofficial landmark and meeting point in the historic Fort precinct. The surrounding area retains much of its 19th-century streetscape.
