One of the monuments of w:en:Vellore is the fort and its exact date of construction could not be established, in the absence of proper records. A very close examination of the stone inscriptions suggests that the fort in all probability might have been built during the rule of Chinna Bommi Nayak (1526 to 1595A. D) . The fort is one of the most perfect specimens of Military architecture in S.India.
  • The w:en:Jalakandeswarar Temple inside the fort is very fine example of Vijayanagar architecture. The Kalyana mantap, on the left of the entrance, with intricate caring and delicacy of exaction, bears testimony to the engineering marble and advanced state of sculpture of the times.
  • Another land mark that has put Vellore on the center stage of Medical world is the w:en:Christian Medical College Hospital. Dr . IDA Scudder, the American lady, with a missionary zeal, started her Medical work in 1900 A.D. by setting up a very small Hospital, which in the last hundred years has grown into a premier Medical Institution of international repute.
  • The central prison in Vellore , set up in 1830 A.D. is another historically important land mark as some eminent personalities and freedom fighters like sri w:en:Rajaji, Thiru w:en:C.N. Annadurai, Thiru. w:en:K. Kamaraj , the former presidents of India Thiru. w:en:V.V.Giri, Thiru. w:en:R.Venkataraman had served their prison terms here.
  • The other note worthy monuments are the Mausoleums located in Aruganthampoodi area on the Vellore - Arcot road, where the family members of w:en:Tippu Sultan were buried.
  • And the Muthu mandapam on the banks of river of palar, a memorial raised by the Tamil Nadu Government to honor Vikarama Raja Singha , the last Tamil King who ruled w:en:Kandy (w:en:Srilanka ) from 1798 to 1815 A.D. He was imprisoned by the British in Vellore fort for 17 years.
