Bangalore Fort stands as a silent witness to Bengaluru’s transformation from a fortified settlement to a bustling metropolis. Originally built as a mud fort by Kempe Gowda I in 1537 and later reinforced with stone by Hyder Ali, this historic landmark has seen centuries of power struggles, battles, and architectural brilliance.
In this blog, we uncover the fort’s fascinating history, from its role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars to its unique blend of Dravidian and Islamic architectural styles. We’ll also explore the remains of the once-mighty stronghold, including the Mysore Gate, the Ganapati Temple, and traces of its legendary cyclopean masonry.
Join us on this journey through time as we explore one of Bengaluru’s most significant heritage sites!
