Horniman Circle

Near Asiatic Library

About

The only surviving part of the original Cotton Green area, Horniman circle is a series of arcaded buildings laid out as a semi-circle. Built in 1860, its best view can be seen from the neighboring Asiatic Library—known for its extensive collection of old and rare manuscripts. In the middle of this semi-circular area lies a beautiful park, which provides a quiet respite from the bustle. This place also has the historic banyan tree which acted as the venue for India's first stock exchange. Nearby historical buildings include the stock exchange and St. Thomas Cathedral.
