Gulbarga Fort - Fortress in Kalaburagi - Kalaburagi, India

The History of this place is very important. But, it is very poorly maintained. It has no restrooms, Plastics everywhere, and not maintained moats. People will smoke everywhere. But when we see it from the angle of architecture it is very nice. The fort has a masjid, 3 cannons at the first fort and the world's longest cannon (29 feet) in the second fort. The moat is about 30 deep feet. And there are no tickets here

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.

I had the opportunity to visit Gulbarga Fort recently, and it was a fascinating experience. This historical fort, also known as Kalaburagi Fort, is a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of the region., Gulbarga Fort is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and anyone interested in experiencing the rich cultural heritage of the area. Inside the fort, there are various structures and ruins to explore. The Jama Masjid, a mosque built within the fort, is a standout feature with its elegant architecture and grandeur.

It is also known as Kalaburagi Fort. Fort was originally built by Raja Gulchand of Warangal, Gulbarga Fort was later ruled by Alauddin Hasan Bahman Shah, the ruler of the Bahmani dynasty. 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.

Gulbarga fort. We visited this fort for the first time , it's very beautiful place in gulbarga , Karnataka. Must visit.

Could be a very fine tourist attraction point but due to lack maintenance & publicity hardly any tourist visit the spot.

Not maintained historical place. No security. People are living inside the fort. Good place to visit a very historical place having lots of historical events

The fort is about 4km from the railway station and has definitely seen better days. It could use better upkeep and maintenance but if you are a history buff and want to get this off your checklist, can stop by for a quick visit and can expect to spend about 1-1.5 hours, shouldnt take more than that. There are 2 main places of attraction - the Jamia Masjid and a fort structure as soon as you pass the moat walls which has 3 cannons on top. But you can walk around inside premises. There is reference to longest canon made with 5 alloys called bara top but the entry to that canon top has been closed. I was told that by the local guard that the canon had fallen and is not safe and has been closed to the public for now. The guard opens the fort structure around 9:30 and the mosque is also open after 10. So if you reach there early, you can still just walk around the premises and check out the places once they are open. There are no shops inside the fort so make sure to carry enough water and eatables but dont litter the place.
