Solapur Bhuikot Killa, Medieval fort in Solapur, India
The fort complex includes double fortification walls, two main entrance gates, ancient temples, a mosque, and numerous stone pillars across its grounds.
Constructed in the 14th century by the Bahmani dynasty, the fort later served as a strategic stronghold for various rulers including the Adilshahi and Mughal empires.
The fort grounds hosted a significant wedding ceremony in 1523 between the ruling families of Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar and Adilshah of Bijapur.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains the fort structure, which stands near Siddheshwar Lake and remains open for public exploration throughout the year.
The fort contains architectural elements from multiple ruling periods, with modifications made by Mahmud Gawan and subsequent reinforcements by different dynasties.
