Sikandar Bagh is a historic garden and palace complex built by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan II. It gained notoriety during the 1857 Rebellion as the site of a fierce battle between Indian rebels and British forces, resulting in heavy casualties. Today, the site is a tranquil park with remnants of the original palace, including arched gateways and a central pavilion. Visitors can see bullet marks on walls and a memorial plaque. The garden's layout, with pathways and flowerbeds, offers a serene contrast to its violent history.
