Sultan Battery is a watchtower that was constructed by Tippu Sultan. The ruler constructed this watchtower to watch the entry of warships into the Gurpur River. Having a construction similar to a minuscule fortress with its many apertures for rising cannons all around, it was erected in black stones. It is believed that during his 15-year imprisonment of the Mangalorean Catholics and the other Christians, the watchtower was constructed from stones of churches destroyed by Tippu Sultan.
