Gagan Mahal
Gagan Mahal, also known as the Sky Palace, is a magnificent historical monument located in Vijayapura (Bijapur), Karnataka. Constructed in 1561 CE by Ali Adil Shah I, the palace served dual purposes: as a royal residence and a Durbar Hall.
The palace is renowned for its grand central arch, which spans over 60 feet and stands at a height of 56 feet, making it one of the largest arches in Bijapur. Surrounded by fortified walls and a wide moat, Gagan Mahal was once part of a larger citadel that included the Durbar Hall, palaces, and pleasure gardens of the Adil Shahi rulers.
Although many of the buildings are now in ruins, the palace remains a popular spot due to its historical significance and architectural beauty. The open-air setting within a well-landscaped public garden makes it an ideal place for visitors to enjoy a peaceful retreat while marveling at the remnants of this once-grand structure.
