The Bangalore fort was built in 1537 as a mud fort by Kempe Gowda. In 1761, Haider Ali transformed this fort into a stone fort. This fort, unfortunately, fell into the hands of the British. This was then reconstructed into hospitals, schools, roads and more after being dismantled. Bangalore changed hands quickly between different rulers due to the wars in the 17th century. This made development stagnant.
