Originally constructed in the 12th century and significantly expanded around 1335 AD by Prolaya Vema Reddy, founder of the Reddy dynasty, it served as their capital after shifting from Addanki.
The fort later came under the control of the Vijayanagara Empire, Golconda Sultanate, Mughals, French, and British.

Inside the fort are ruins of temples, pillared halls, granaries, water tanks, and a mosque built using temple ruins. The fort is also known for its ancient water conservation system with several ponds supplying water to inhabitants.
