Bhongir Fort

Bhongir Fort was built on an isolated monolithic rock by the Western Chalukya ruler Tribhuvanamalla Vikramaditya IV in the year 1076 and was thus named after him as Tribhuvanagiri, later it was called as Bhuvanagiri.

The stone wall, the steps through the granite archways and the crumbling stucco ruins of the later age, still adorn the place.

[citation needed] Bhongir sits on a unique egg-shaped rock hill more than 500 feet high.

The splendid historical fort with the awe-inspiring rock and the aesthetically fortified courts which have stood the ravages of time stir the imagination of tourists.

A moat that encircles the fort, a vast underground chamber, trap doors, an armoury, stables, ponds, wells, etc., make for fascinating viewing.
