Please view on a black screen ( "H" + "M" ) http://j.mp/1vrdLtS This Dungeon located at Srirangapatna, Karnataka state , India ; is known as Colonel Bailey's Dungeon which was used by 'Tipu Sultan'(1750-99) to confine prisoners of war. It is an oblong structure concealed from view and measures about 30x15 m with low vaulted roof of brick and mortar and having a series of arches resting on huge pillars dividing the interior into bays. Along the walls are projecting stone slabs having holes, perhaps meant for fastening prisoners to the walls with chains. This dungeon is said to have been used to confine Col. Bailey for a short period. via 500px http://j.mp/1rbFsQM
