Gunpowder Storage is a famous tourist attraction in Srirangapatna in Mysore. It is a great place for the ones that have a special interest in the history. As per the name, it was the place for storing the gunpowder.

The main storage was a few feet below the ground level that provided protection from the destruction caused by the cannon balls.
