] ] Sultan Battery watch tower constructed by Tipu Sultan, is situated 4 km from Mangalore City. Built in black stones, it gives the impression of a miniature fortress with its arrangements for mounting cannons all-round.

There is rumored to be an as yet undiscovered cave near this location that is the entrance to a tunnel that reaches Tippu's fort in SriRangapatnam.
