Location
This is a watchtower supposed to be built by Tipu Sultan to watch the entry of warships into the Gurpur River. It has a marvelous construction and though it was meant to be a simple watchtower, it gives the feeling to the onlookers of a minuscule fortress with its many apertures for rising cannons all around.
The battery, located in Boloor, was erected in black stones looking like a miniature fortress. This tower with no maintenance at all could not survive extreme weather conditions and is in ruins presently. The remaining part is known as Tipu’s well.
Though Sultan Battery is an abandoned spot but it deserves an appointment due to is wonderful construction.
