Bangalore Fort (Kempegowda's Fort)
Bangalore, India


Bangalore Fort, originally built in the 16th century by Kempegowda I, features remnants of a once-mighty fortification that symbolised the establishment of modern Bangalore. The structure showcases a blend of local stone and architectural styles, with a prominent gateway that evokes the city's historical significance during the rule of the Vijayanagar Empire.
While much of the fort has succumbed to urban development, the remaining sections offer insight into Bangalore's past. A stroll through the nearby activities reveals a mix of local vendors and bustling streets, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in the city’s heritage. Be mindful of the heat, especially during midday.
