  2. Vellore Fort  is a large historic 16th century fort situated in Vellore town near Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It was built by Nayakar chieftains of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is constructed with large granite blocks and is known for its grand ramparts, wide moat and robust masonry.

    It passed from the Nayaks to Bijapur Sultans, then Marathas and to Carnatic Nawabs and finally to British until Independence. During the British rule the fort held Tippu Sultan's family and the last Nayak king of Kandy (Sri Lanka) in captivity. The fort also houses a Hindu temple, Christian church and Muslim mosque. The first rebellion against British rule erupted at this fort in 1806. The temple within the Fort is famous for the magnificent carvings. The fort is also a witness to the tragic massacre of the Vijayanagara royal family of Emperor Sriranga Raya.
