Also known as Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, the Hanging Gardens
were built in 1880 and renovated in 1921. These gardens are
popularly known as Hanging Gardens, because of their location on the
slope of a hill. The terrace garden looks south from Malabar Hill
towards Colaba, and affords a panoramic view of the city or a
breathtaking sunset. It is built over three reservoirs, which store
30 million gallons of water pumped here for cleaning before being
supplied to the town.
