Kondaveedu Fort, 14th-century fort in Edlapadu Mandal, India

Kondaveedu is a fort in Edlapadu mandal, Andhra Pradesh, standing on a hill above the surrounding plains. The compound holds twenty-one separate buildings linked by stone staircases carved into the rock, arranged across several terraces.

The site served as capital for the Reddy kings from the early 14th to 15th century, who built defensive works using regional granite and limestone. Earlier occupation traces back to the Satavahana period, evidenced by Buddhist monuments from different eras.

The hill takes its name from Telugu: konda, hill, and veedu, settlement. The Gopinathaswami temple at the foot of the hill is dedicated to Krishna, and its bunched pillars are carved from a single rock. A mosque stands inside the fort, and both Hindu and Muslim building styles appear in the ruins.

Two routes reach the top: a steep, short climb from the north and a longer, gentler path of about 2 miles (3.2 km) that most visitors prefer. Stone steps also rise from two sides of the hill. The hilltop holds three ponds, one of which overflows into the next so no water is lost.

A stupa on the grounds measures 12 feet (3.5 meters) across, built with green slate and black stone. Its construction with ancient bricks reveals multiple building phases dating back to the Satavahana period.
