Warangal Fort Travel

An imposing structure of Andhra Pradesh, Warangal Fort was built in the 13th century by the rulers of the Kakatiya Empire. This architectural marvel, though now in ruins, still reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship of that era. Located in the southeast of Warangal City, which is renowned for its art and culture, the fort is one of the city’s most fascinating attractions. Over the centuries, it witnessed several battles. The fort features three-layered fortified walls built for defense, and the 'Gateway of Glory' is a must-see, celebrated for its exquisite carvings.

At the gateway, four intricately carved pillars, hewn from single blocks of rock, stand majestically. The foundation of the fort was laid by Kakatiyan king Ganapatideva, and construction was later continued by his daughter, Rani Rudrama. Some portions of the fort were destroyed by invaders over time.

The architectural beauty of the fort is evident in its sculptures, stonework, motifs, and designs depicting lions, swans, and other figures. The fort houses around 45 towers. Inside, visitors can explore the renowned temple dedicated to Mother Earth, known as Swayambhudevi Alayam. A visit to Warangal Fort offers a captivating journey into the glorious era of the Kakatiya Empire.
