Tipu's Palace

Fort, Delhi Gate

Only a small fragment remains of the fort, constructed by Haidar Ali in the mid-18th century. A circular central entrance arch is flanked by similar arched outlines. Their spandrels are decorated with lotus roundels and alams, a distinctly Shia motif. The pilasters between the arches have a lotus frieze. Just below the eave are several lines of plaster decoration.
