Description
Originally built in 1501 the Devanahalli Fort has been under several rulers and has significant historical and archeological relevance. Starting out with Mallabaire Gowda, the then Dalwai of Mysore, who built the fort, it was attacked by Nanjarajaiah in 1749, before it passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and finally Tipu Sultan. In 1791, during the Anglo-Mysore War, the fort went under the British after Lord Cornwallis attacked the fort. The fort is built of stone and is spread across an area of 20 acres of land. The structure has small entrances decorated with cut plasterwork at the east and west.
