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.

    Tipu Sultan Fort and Palace - Bangalore KR Market

    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.
