What to expect
Bangalore Fort
30m
Remains of the original fort walls
You’ll see sections of Tipu Sultan’s granite fort, built for defence and still standing today.
Evidence of the 1791 siege
Certain parts of the structure help you understand how the fort was attacked and breached.
A fort within a busy city
The contrast between the historic walls and the surrounding modern streets is striking.
History in small details
The real story lies in the walls, openings, and layout — if you know where to look.
1h
A dense, bustling trade street
Shops packed closely together, constant movement, and one of the oldest commercial stretches in Bangalore.
Narrow lanes and tight urban layout
The street structure reflects how old Bangalore was built — compact, functional, and layered.
A mix of old and new
Traditional businesses, old buildings, and modern signage all exist side by side.
A space with hidden history
What looks like a regular market street today was once part of the zone connected to the 1791 siege and old city movement.
Tipu Sultan Fort and Palace - Bangalore KR Market
30m · Admission ticket included
A royal space away from the battlefield
The palace was not a defensive structure; it stood outside the main fort and was not central to the siege.
A glimpse of Tipu Sultan’s rule beyond war
It reflects governance, lifestyle, and administration rather than military activity.
A structure that survived the conflict
Unlike the fort, this palace was not heavily damaged during the 1791 siege.
A contrast to the intensity of the battlefield
While the fort saw attack and defence, this space shows the other side of the city during that time.
