Sultan Battery131 viewsIt is situated in Boloor 6 km. away from Mangalore on the east bank of Gurpur river. It is a watch tower built in 1784 by Tipu Sultan to prevent warships to enter Gurpur river. Now the remaining part of the fort is called as Tipu's Well. Built in black stones, it gives the impression of a miniature fortress with its many apertures for mounting cannons all around.
