★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There is a boundary wall surrounding the town inside, didn't find any other monuments. Might be a let down for few. But it's a good one time experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The entrance looks nice and attractive. But once you're inside the charm wears off.. there are houses, shops garbage etc. Only reason you might want to visit is because it's very close to the city and for a couple of photo ops and an old Vishnu temple. Dont expect a large well preserved fort that you can explore for hours. Total time spent inside was less than 30 mins.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chieftain Malla Byre Gowda of Avathi, a Vijayanagara empirevassal, built a mud fort in 1501 at Devanadoddi (now called Devanahalli). Tipu Sultan was born here in 1751.
Very nice place to visit with family and friends?

Old monument without maintenance. You have Fort compound where you can walk and have a view of lake and surroundings. Don’t go with high expectations but love towards history. While coming from Nandi Hill side, you can visit fort and temples inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a good, decent place for a day's picnic around the Bangalore City. This fort falls on the way to Nandi Hills, Avalabetta, Chikkaballapur etc. You will enjoy this place in a group. You can keep walking on the wall. You will find a highly densed village right inside the fort. Somehow this fort looks clean.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You can walk on the fort, the journey from Bangalore to Devanahalli fort was really good. There isn't much to see here but it looks like a good picnic spot to hang out with friends and family. A part of the fort overlooks a lake, it was peaceful.
It's good to visit for 2 to 3 hours. It could be a part of the trip because of its historical significance but can't spend an entire day here. There are few temples inside which were also good to see. Please maintain the place

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The fort only have walls. Rest have been ruined. Archeology department abandoned this place. Not well maintained. The fort wall width is unimaginable. It was near about 30 feet with 3 layers. Great engineering. The wall have a watch towers, hide out, archery range. Sad that it has ruined, not maintained and encroached by people.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The fort is well maintained, especially the entrance. It is nice to be able to climb up via stairs just inside the fort and walk some distance on the wall. An interesting feature was the row of narrow tubular "windows"(see photo) along the walls that gave views of the area surrounding the fort from different angles (to shoot from?).The temples inside the fort are quite small. Between the modern concrete houses inside the fort and a smelly lake and highway outside the fort, the view is nothing special. It's a place of historical significance, and an easy drive from the city and worth a trip.
