Gothic Christ Church
Gothic Christ Church, Shimla, is the second oldest church in North India, after St John's Church in Meerut. Gothic Christ church is located on the Shimla’s prominent Ridge. The first cornerstone was laid on 9 September 1844 and the church was consecrated on 10 January 1857. Even today, the church has some interesting memorial tablets while the pews still mark the seats of British Viceroy of India, the Commander-in-Chief and the Punjab’s Governor. The church contains five fine stained glass windows.

St. Andrew's Church
St. Andrew’s Church or the Church of Scotland was built in 1914. The decorative cornerstones are the only concession to its Spartan brick facade. The building now houses a wing of the State Library and is a treasure place of the rare books.

Scandal Point
Scandal Point remains the hub of Shimla’s social life and is said to be so named after a British Commander-in-Chief’s daughter eloped from the spot with the Maharaja of Patiala.

 

Kali Bari Temple
The Kali Bari temple is one of the oldest temple located near the Mall in Shimla. This temple was founded in 1845 by Ram Charan Bharamachari, a Bengali Brahmin. The temple is held in high veneration by the town’s Hindu community and is dedicated to the goddess Kali. A black marble image occupies the central position in the sanctum and is flanked by vermilion daubed stone carvings which are regarded to be the images that were unearthed at the temple’s original site on the slopes of Jakhoo hill.

Jakhoo Hill
The highest point in Shimla is the Jakhoo Hill. This Jakhoo Hill offers a spectacular view of the town, hills and distant mountain ranges. The peak has a temple dedicated to the Lord Hanuman.

Gaiety Theatre
The Gaiety Theatre is located near the Mall and the Ridge. The first amateur dramatic performance in Shimla in this theatre was performed on 9 June 1838. The Amateur Dramatic Club was formally Gothic in style and has still undergone a major restoration. The Theatre is renowned for its fine acoustics and as such without the help of an amplifier, a whisper on the stage will carry to every corner of the hall.
