Bangalore Fort
Bangalore Fort began construction in 1537 as a mud fort. The builder was Kempe Gowda I, a vassal of the Vijayanagara Empire and the founder of Bangalore. The then Sultan of Mysore Hyder Ali in 1761 replaced the mud fort with a stone fort and it was further improved by his son, Tipu Sultan in the late 18th century.
