Tipu Sultan Fort


At


Bangalore






Tipu Sultan Summer Palace is the one of the major Historical Attraction of 
Bangalore.





Located in the most crowded market area, Tipu Sultan Fort represents the artistic talent that prevailed in the past. It was originally constructed by Kempe Gowda in the year 1537 using mud bricks.

 It was modified and extended by Haider Ali, who used granite stones in the process. It was Tipu Sultan who completed it during 1791 and it served as his summer retreat. 

The two-storied structure has pillars, carved arches and balconies. It represents Islamic style and you could find a temple of Ganesha, a Hindu god. This throws light on the religious tolerance exhibited by the ruler.

 If you love to go deep into historical facts, you need to visit the art gallery in the fort, which houses historical paintings, photos and carvings.

An inscription on a stone found in the palace describes the palace as an ‘Abode of Happiness and envy of Heaven’

The magnificent palace was built using wood, stone, mortar and plaster, and looks like a one storied pillared pavilion from outside. But the palace is actually a double storied building, typical of this style in architecture.

The walls and wooden ceilings of the palace are painted in beautiful floral motifs on madder red surfaces.
