History Revisted

The Bangalore Fort (near K.R. Market) was built by Kempe Gowda and expanded by Tippu Sultan.

Within its walls is the well preserved 16th century Ganapathi Temple.

The Bangalore Palace (the property extends from Jayamahal to Mekhri Circle) was built by a Wodeyar king in 1887 on 400 acres of space.

Inspired by the Windsor castle, this palace was built in the Tudor style, complete with Gothic windows, foiled windows, battlements and turrets.

It's open to the public for a fee.
