Do you know about the Star-Shaped Fort in Karnataka? . . . #Manjarabad fort is a Star-Shaped Fort built in 1792 by Tipu Sultan using French military architects. It is in the Hassan district and located just 10km from Sakleshpur town in the Indian state of Karnataka. The arrow-head shaped bastions give the fort its star shape. This shape of the bastion enables a panoramic view of the battlefield and also provides no dead zones, unlike circular or rectangular bastions. A dead zone is a space between two bastions where the enemy is relatively safe from being attacked by those inside the fort.
