The awe striking 67 mt. high red brick watchtower, Satkhanda or ‘Seven stories’ is opposite Hussainabad Imambara with a blend of French and Italian architecture is a worth see. Though built to only 4 stories, it was constructed during the era of Nawab Muhamad Ali Shah but construction stopped in 1840 when he passed away. It was like a palace built to get the perfect view of the city and though it is in ruins today, the exquisite architecture and splendor is still reflected.
