Kavaledurga Fort, Hill fort in Thirthahalli, India
The stone fortification stands on a hill at 13.71879 N and 75.12198 E, featuring multiple defensive walls and gateways across different levels.
The fort served as the fourth capital of the Keladi Kingdom during the 17th century before falling to Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan.
