Flora Fountain (Hutatma Chowk)
हुतात्मा चौक
A Roman flower goddess fountain built in 1864, located where five roads meet in the heart of Fort and surrounded by Victorian commercial buildings.
Flora Fountain was built in 1864, carved from Portland stone in the form of the Roman goddess Flora. It is the central landmark of Mumbai's Fort district, and it was restored in 2019, with its water jets and night lighting reinstated. The square it stands in has been renamed Hutatma Chowk, meaning Martyrs' Square, and the nearby memorial honours those who lost their lives in the 1950s movement to establish Maharashtra State. The streets on either side are lined with Victorian banks, shops and old book stalls, and you can walk along D.N. Road to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Free admission.
