Nagarjunakonda Fort
Nagarjunakonda Fort, located in Palnadu district of Andhra Pradesh, sits on an island formed by the Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir. Historically known as Vijayapuri, it was a prominent Buddhist and Hindu center with numerous stupas, viharas, and temples dating from the 3rd century CE under the Ikshvaku dynasty.
The fort had high walls, bastions, and gateways, serving as a strategic defensive site. It was a significant academic and religious hub attracting scholars from across Asia. Over centuries, the region was ruled by various dynasties including the Reddis, Gajapatis, Qutb Shahis, and the Vijayanagara Empire, all contributing to its architectural and cultural heritage. The fort and its religious structures showcase Amaravati-style art and reflects a blend of Buddhist and Hindu influences.
The site is now an important archaeological and historic landmark, partially submerged due to the Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, with many artifacts housed in museums.
