Gulbarga Fort, Monument of National Importance in Kalaburagi district, Karnataka.

The massive fort spans 57 acres with double fortification walls, incorporating 15 watchtowers and 26 guns distributed across its perimeter.

Originally constructed by Raja Gulchand, the fort underwent substantial expansion in 1347 under Al-ud-din Hasan Bahmani after separating from Delhi Sultanate.

The Jama Masjid within the fort, built in 1367, represents Persian architecture with domes and arched columns marking Islamic influences.

The fort stands 575 kilometers from Bengaluru, with access through Kalaburagi Airport offering three weekly flights and regular train connections.

The fort houses the Bara Gazi Toph, crafted from five different metals and recognized as one of the longest cannons in existence.
