Gulbarga Fort
Originally built by Raja Gulchand and later fortified by Ala-ud-din Bahman,
the fort contains large buildings, mosques, temples, stables, ammunition
dumps, carriages, 15 towers, 26 guns and several beautiful courtyards. The
pièce-de-résistance of the sprawling fort is the 38,000 sq. ft. Jumma
Masjid with its elegant domes and arched columns reminiscent of the great
mosque of Cordoba in Spain. The crumbling ruins of Gulbarga Fort transport
you to Karnataka’s glorious past, when kingdoms fell and others rose from
their ashes. The Sultan Hasan tomb, the tomb of Ghias-ud-din, the fine
mausoleum of Feroze Shah and family, the Haft-Gumbaz outside the city and
Gulbarga’s many elegant mosques are also worth seeing.
