Amidst the vibrant chaos of K R Market in Bangalore, stands a silent sentinel of the city's history - Bangalore Fort. As one navigates through the maze of stalls selling fruits, vegetables, and flowers, the imposing walls of the fort serve as a reminder of Bangalore's rich past.
Built by Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore, in the 16th century, the fort was originally constructed as a mud fort. Over the centuries, it underwent several renovations and expansions under different rulers, including Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, who reinforced it with stone walls and added gateways and watchtowers.
