Sultan Battery was built by Tipu Sultan in the 18th century as a low, squat watchtower overlooking the Gurpur River, mounted with guns to defend against naval attacks. A short climb of around thirty steps leads to the top, where little remains beyond the structure itself and river views. Though modest in scale, it offers a tangible link to Mangalore's turbulent 18th century history.
