I'm completely in love with Bombay's General Post Office, so I really didn't expect to be so awed by Calcutta's GPO. The dome is amazingly white, and now that I think of it, I do recall drives past the illuminated GPO at night, and I remember looking out of the car window and ogling the dome...
Built in 1864, this one easily outranks the Bombay GPO, and was apparently built on the site of Calcutta's original Fort William. There were some bricks laid out on the road next to the building, and I thought they would make an interesting snap, so SNAP! :)
And yes, pillars on the three sides - scream out to be clicked, too. :) Very Greek, methinks.
