Konda Reddy Fort
The Konda Reddy Fort, also known as Konda Reddy Buruju, is a historic fort located in the heart of Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Built in the 12th century by the Vijayanagara Emperors Devaraya II and Achyutaraya, the fort played a crucial role in the region's defense.
It was later enhanced by Gopala Raja, the grandson of Rama Raya, in the 17th century. The fort is named after Konda Reddy, the last ruler of Alampur, who was imprisoned in the fort by the Kurnool Nawab.
According to legend, Konda Reddy used the tunnels within the fort to escape, although he eventually lost his territory to the Golconda Nawabs. The fort features three levels, with the ground level closed to visitors.
The first level has large enclosures with a portico, while the second level houses a large tower used for observation. Visitors can explore the fort's impressive architecture, including its gateways and bastions, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The fort is open to the public from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and there is no entry fee.
