Flora Fountain - Fort Fountain(Mumbai)
Flora Fountain, at the Hutatma Chowk (Martyr's Square), is an ornamentally and exquisitely sculpted architectural heritage monument located at the southern end of the historic Dadabhai Naoroji Road, called the Mile Long Road, at the Fort business district in the heart of South Mumbai, Mumbai, India.

It was built at a total cost of Rs. 47,000, or 9000 pounds sterling, a princely sum in those days.
The fountain originally intended for the Victoria Gardens, is now surmounted by the figure of Plenty (Courtesy of Special Collections, University of Houston Libraries.).History of the Flora Fountain is traced to the time when the Old Mumbai Fort was demolished in 1860 as part of the then Governor, Sir Bartle Frere's efforts to improve civic sanitation (municipal improvements) and the urban space requirements of the growing city
Prior to this demolition, the Fort had been built between 1686 and 1743 by the British East India Company with three gates (the Apollo Gate, the Church Gate and the Bazaar Gate), a moat, esplanade, level open spaces on its western fringe (to control fires) and residences. A small road called the Hornby Road, named after the then Governor of Bombay (Mumbai) between 1771 AD and 1784 AD, also existed at the old Fort area

Statue at Flora Fountain, Mumbai
The Flora Fountain intersection at the junction of Mahatma Gandhi Road, Dadabhai Naoroji Road and Veer Nariman Road is known as Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' Square), but locals still call it the 'Fountain', referring to its central ornate fountain mounted with a statue of the Roman goddess Flora.
Before that, this was the site of one of the three gates of the original Bombay Fort. There are several other public artworks nearby, including a statue of two martyrs with a flame built in memory of the 105 people shot dead here by police in 1960 during a protest for the creation of Maharashtra state.
This area now has some of Mumbai's most exclusive schools and colleges, including Cathedral and John Connon School, JB Petit High School for Girls, and the Alexandra Girls' High School. It's also home to Siddhartha College, set up by Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of India's Constitution and a champion of the country's lower castes, revered by the city's Dalit community.

WATCH THE General Post Office G P O at Fort - Mumbai (INDIA)
The General Post Office, Mumbai, is the central post office of the city of Mumbai, India. The post-office handles most of the city's inbound and outbound mail and parcels. Situated in the vicinity of Victoria Terminus, this outstanding structure is a paradigm of Indo-Saracenic architecture.
The general post office is modelled on the Gol Gumbaz in Bijapur, Karnataka. It was designed by British architect John Begg, a consultant architect to the British government. Begg designed the structure in 1902, and construction began on 1 September 1904. It was completed on 13 March 1913 at a cost of ₨ 1,809,000. Black basalt, with a dressing of yellow Kurla stone and white stones from Dhrangdra are the predominant materials used.
The building has an area of 120,000 square feet (11,000 m²) and replaced the current Central Telegraph Office at Flora Fountain as the new GPO. The chief feature of the architecture of this building is an ethereal central hall which rises up to the great dome.
