Chandragiri Fort, Chandragiri

Chandragiri was the later capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. The forts and Mahals at the place are attractions for tourists. The fort is said to have been built in AD 1,000 by Immadi Narasimha Yadavaraya and has been improved in later time by the Vijayanagara Kings.

The fort stands on a huge hill 183m high. The southern side of the hill is enclosed by strong walls, surrounded by a ditch. The remains of the lower fort contain the two Mahals, the lower portion of which is built in stone and the upper in brick. The main building known as the 'Raj (Chandragiri) Mahal' is majestic in appearance. The modern town of Chandragiri lies to the east of the hill on which the fort stands.
