Bangalore Palace

Tipu's Palace

Lawns and the Stone walls of the Fort

Very few people know that right in the centre of Bangalore city there is 16 century fort. Last weekend we had been to see it ... though not very big it gives an idea about the importance of Bangalore as a location of militarliy and strategic importance since those times. During Tipu's times he had built a summer palace inside the wall of this fort (see top pic). Also within the walls are some old temples. Now what remains of the fort is very small portion, with most of it either destroyed or parts being used by the locals to open shops within the thick walls of the fort. Nice placeto spend a n hour or twoon some afternoon with much else to do.
