Colonel Bailey's Dungeon

The dungeon measures 30.5 metres X 12.2 metres and is built of brick and mortar. Prisoners were chained to stone slabs fixed on its walls. Named after Colonel Bailey who died here in 1780 A.D., this dungeon was used to imprison Captain Baird, Captain Rulay, Colonel Brithwite, Samson, Frazer and Lindsay by Tipu Sultan. During the seige of Srirangapatnam, one of the cannons rolled back, pierced the ceiling and fell into the dungeon. It is lying there still.
