Srirangapatna

Located 14 km north-east of Mysore, on the Bangalore Highway, the island fortress was once the capital of the warrior kings Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.

Across the other side of the road from the fort stands the Daria Daulat Bagh, the summer palace of Tipu Sultan. Built in 1784, Daria Daulat Bagh is now converted into a museum and tells of his losing battle against the British.
