Jagtial Fort
Jagtial Fort, located in the town of Jagtial, Telangana, is a unique star-shaped fort built in the 17th century during the reign of Nawab Ibrahim Khan, a Mughal governor. Constructed with the help of two French engineers, Jack and Tal, its design resembles European castles, making it the only star-shaped fort in Telangana.
The fort is surrounded by a moat filled with water and features several cannons, some inscribed with the name of Mohammad Khasim, who helped build many of them. It once had two wooden gates operated by pulleys, although they have since disappeared. At the fort’s entrance is a large mosque dating back to the early 19th century, known as the Jamia Masjid. Despite many parts of the fort being ruined, the well within the fort still provides water to local residents.
The site holds significant historical value and reflects a blend of cultural and military architecture but has faced neglect and restricted public access in recent years, although it remains an important landmark for the region.
