Bhongir
Bhongir Fort rests upon a monolithic rock at a height of 500 feet.
The fort was constructed by Tribhuvanamalla Vikramaditya, the Western Chalukya ruler, in the 12th century.
Covering a massive area of 40 acres, the fort was said to impenetrable owing to its unique design.
The egg-shaped construction has two entry points, which were protected by massive rocks.
Bhongir Fort has withstood the ravages of time and one can see the moat surrounding the fort, a huge underground chamber, armoury, trapdoors, stables, ponds and wells among other structures.
The aesthetically designed and fortified citadel sitting on a hilltop offers panoramic views of the countryside. If rumours are to be believed, there is an underground passage connecting Bhongir Fort to Golconda Fort!
