This is located near the Bangalore Bus stand near Market. Market bus stand is only 1 km away from the main Kempe Gowda bus stand. At the corner bfore the bus stops we can get down as all people get down over there but, if you miss then walk 300 meters backwords to reach Tippu's summer palace of Bangalore. I went through the displayed items one and all as I was particularly curious to see the Tippu's Missile. I was trying to catch it from the net before and have some idea how it looks like. The real Tippu's Missile was a feast to my eyes although the other visitors didnot show that much interest. There is only one watchman to see that people don't scribble on the wall. Of course, there is entry fee nominal Rs 3 or so and security at the gate. It has two floors. There are rooms in the ground floor and on top of it thefirst floor is for the Sultan (throne at the centre) surrounded by place for the important people and sena nayakas. The lower rank soldiers and common people will see from the lawns and ground floor area.
Worth a visit as it has historical importance. Battle with Tippu was a night mare for the British forces and Tippu has won the battles against British initially.
