Victoria Memorial. Large canopy made of Italian limestone, dedicated to Queen Victoria. It was opened on 24 March 1906 by James Digges La Touche. The canopy once sheltered a huge statue of Queen Victoria which was later removed at the Chandrashekhar Azad Park (also known by its former name Alfred Park, and Company Bagh during the Company Raj). It is a public park in Prayagraj (formarly Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, India. Built in 1870 to mark Prince Alfred's visit to the city, with an area of 133 acres, it is the biggest park in Prayagraj. It was renamed by the Uttar Pradesh Government after revolutionary Chandra Shekhar Azad, who sacrificed his life here during the Indian independence movement in 1931.
