Tipu Sultan Fort
The Tipu Sultan Fort, also known as Srirangapatna Fort, is a historical fort located in Srirangapatna, near Mysuru, Karnataka. Originally built in 1454 by Timmanna Hebbar, a local chieftain, the fort underwent several renovations and modifications under the reigns of various rulers, including Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.
Tipu Sultan fortified the fort with the help of French architects, making it one of the strongest forts of its time.
The fort features impressive Indo-Islamic architecture, with double walls and four majestic gates: the Delhi Gate, Bangalore Gate, Mysore Gate, and Water Gate. Inside the fort, there is a Rocket Court, where Tipu Sultan's army launched missiles, and the Lal Mahal, which was Tipu Sultan's palace and is now in ruins.
The fort played a significant role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, and it was here that Tipu Sultan met his end in the Battle of Seringapatam in 1799. Today, the fort is a popular tourist destination, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and architectural heritage.
