Gulbarga Fort

Good Historic Place but Muslims have accumulated the place inside and made homes inside. Govt has taken action on this but still few are not ready to go. This makes me to give 2 rating to this place.

Beautiful place in kalaburgi Gulbarga
You can expand your quality time with your family and friend

Overall Fort Boundary is very huge.
Inside there is one fort structure that is well maintained and 3 canons on top.
There is one masjid but the road is separate for both. On the fort 30mins is maximum and for masjid 30 mins.
So one can spend 1 hour to see both. And apart from these there are public settlements within the fort.
No tickets required. You can visit it free of cost.

The fort was originally constructed during the reign of the Kakatiya dynasty in the 14th century and later expanded and strengthened by the Bahmani Sultanate.

The fort is a monumental structure highly fortified with 15 towers mounted with 26 guns; each gun located inside the fort is 8 metres (26 ft) long and is still well preserved.

Today people are living inside this fort. Not a well preserved historical place.

The existing fort at gulbarga was built by alauddin bahman shah, founder of bahmani sultanate in the year 1347.the fort is vast covering an area of about 56 acres.the fort houses many structures such as mosques, dungeons, watch towers, cannons etc.the fort architecture is one of the best among Indian forts.

Amazing panoramic view. The mosque Jami Masjid one of the first in South India, was build to commemorate Gulbarga as the capital of the Bahamani Sultanate.

Built in 1300's.strong as a rock. Literally!
The masjid is preserved and maintained well. We can climb one of the forts to see the canons.

As I've born & bought up in Glb I visited this plc very long time ago & still visit with my relatives if they've not seen this plc. The craze of ppl was enormous due to its amazing monuments, structures of 15 pillars which were used to defend from the enemy attacks, heavy guns.
Now most of the ppl come for photo shoot, play outdoor games, try to spoil the heritage by writing something on the walls, throwing stones. Presently, certain tourist spots are locked in the Fort which don't have access because the local ppl didn't maintain it well
It is said- you should not go to Fort after 6-7 PM, I don't know what will happen but it's not safe to go after dark

Needs better maintenance, very less visited place.will be good place if government improves infrastructure

It's wonderful fort in my city And I'm so proud that I'm from this city.
About the fort.
It was built to commemorate the establishment of the dynastic rule of the Bahmani kingdom at Kalaburagi fort between 1327 and 1424

You should visit to see the artitechture built by Mughals but as the government has failed to protect it few or more is damaged.
