Kolkata’s Colonial Landmark…. The James Princep Monument Named after English scholar James Princep , by the Princep Ghat at Hooghly Riverside is a place steeped in history with the monument rich in Greek & Gothic Architectural Style and the Magnificence of the Palladian porch which was designed by W. Fitzgerald and constructed in 1843. In its initial years, all royal British entourages used the Prinsep Ghat jetty for embarkation and disembarkation.
Although this grand monument stands tall as icon of rich history of Calcutta , the history of James Princep is almost forgotten.
