Jail
This three-storeyed prison, constructed by Britishers
in 1906, is a pilgrimage destination for freedomfighters.
This colossal edifice has mutely witnessed the most
treacherous of inhumane atrocities borne by the convicts,
who were mostly freedom fighters. Now dedicated to
the nation as a National Memorial, it houses a spectacular
Sound and Light Show both in English and Hindi, besides
a Museum and Art Gallery.
