Inspired by the classical Greek and Roman styles of architecture is the Rajaji Hall. It was built by Edward Clive to commemorate the victorious battle fought by the English against Tipu Sultan. It served as the Banquet Hall to the Governor's residence before it was renamed. Today it is often the venue for important public functions.

As you take a beautiful stroll along the beach you will encounter Anna Memorial dedicated to C.N. Annadurai, the Chief Minister responsible for reshaping the social and political structure of Tamil Nadu. M.G. Ramachandran was a favourite of the masses and the first film star to become the Chief Minister of a State in India. His memorial lies next to the Anna Memorial.
