Daulatabad, Medieval fort in Sambhajinagar district, India
The fort rises 190 meters high on a conical hill, with three concentric defensive walls and multiple bastions positioned at strategic intervals.
Initially named Deogiri and constructed by the Yadava dynasty in 1187, the fort became the capital under Muhammad bin Tughlaq who renamed it Daulatabad.
The architecture combines Hindu and Islamic elements, visible in structures like the 63-meter-tall Chand Minar and the remnants of ancient temples within the complex.
The fort opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with entrance fees of 25 rupees for Indian nationals and 300 rupees for international visitors.
The fort features an intricate network of underground passages, including the Andhari tunnel system designed to disorient potential invaders with sudden turns and traps.
