The fortified Bab al Aziziya site, which doubles as a military base, was hit around 4am on Thursday.
After daybreak on Friday, Libyan officials took Western journalists to the compound to show off the aftermath of the Nato missile attack.
Sky News reporter Mark Stone, who is in Tripoli reporting under the supervision of the authorities, described what he saw.
"We've all been brought down here with our minders to Colonel Gaddafi's compound to see what damage there has been.
"There's pretty significant damage - three, perhaps four, craters and a building as well, which has been pretty heavily damaged.
"We've asked what it is, and all we're being told is it's an administrative building."
He added that Libyan officials declared three people were killed in the bombing - a claim that is very difficult to verify.
Stone queried why loyalist Libyan protesters at the site appeared to be shielding a stairwell leading underground.
An irate resident refused to explain where the stairs led to and instead questioned claims of bloodshed in the rebel town of Misratah.
The Nato strike came hours after Col Gaddafi appeared on state TV. Read More
