Overview

Bangalore's architecture holds stories of the city's life phases: all the way from the scattered ruins from the 18th century that merge with the new glass and steel structures of the booming IT City, the silicon valley of India; the understated hindu mud and brick homes, to the fast disappearing colonial mansions that were once occupied by serving British Army officers of the Madaras regiment; stone structures that house public buildings is one of those Indian cities which is known for it's architecture offices, to shacks in the slums; ancient temples and gothic churches.The architecture tour takes you through stories of Bangalore though its buildings and ruins. Because every stone has a tale to tell!
