The historic mud fort around Bangalore was originally built by Kempe gowda . a local chieftain in 1537 , two centuries later , it was rebuilt by Haider ali & subsequently strengthened by Tipu sultan , inside the fort is a temple of Ganesha , tipu sultan had fortified the Kempe gowda's fort but with due respect he had preserved the temple .
The palce of Tipu sultan which was originally inside the the fort now looks as though it is far out side the fort , as we enter the fort , we can see five well decorated & painted arches , the palace is a two storeyed ornate structure built entirely in wood , the ground floor houses amuseum tracing the history of Haider ali & Tipu sultan , the costruction of the palce was commenced by Haider ali in 1778 & completed by his son Tipu sultan in 1789 . The palace is a smaller clone of Daria daulat Bagh in Siranganapatnam near Mysore .Almost adjoining the palace is the ancient temple of venkateshwara .
