Built in 1784, this Summer Palace was one of Tipus favorite retreats. Well manicured lawns and flower beds adorn this otherwise modest looking wooden palace. Though the outside may be quite modest look wise and nearly hidden by huge trees, the inside of this palace is a pleasant surprise. The quality of paintings and the wooden carvings will leave you astonished. This palace also holds a good collection of furniture and coins of the by gone era.

Fort
It is from here that Tipu charged at the British soldiers with his legendry sword. An obelisk in the Fort marks the place where he fell - betrayed by his own men. Within the Fort are a Mosque and the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple. The other attractions of this fort are :

Gumbaz
Tipu Sultan, his father Hyder Ali and other members of the royal family are buried here.
Captain Bailey’s Dungeon
This was the place perhaps the British dreaded the most, for it was in this place Tipu Sultan kept his British prisoners. The hooks are still intact on the walls with which the hands of the British prisoners were chained.
The Obelisk
A little further from the dungeon is the place where Tipu Sultan was found dead while bravely fighting the British.
