Constructed by Muddu Raja in the second half of the 17th century, Madikeri Fort was initially a mud fort. After some years, Tipu Sultan re-built it and renamed it as Jaffarabad. Made using brick and mortar, this fort has seen a lot of battles held in this region. The fort is home to a temple, a chapel, a prison, a few government offices and a few more structures. Don’t forget to take pictures with statues of ancient dancers. Go on, strike a pose.
