Raichur Fort - History details

Hill‑top citadel dominating the Raichur Doab; present fortifications were built in 1294 CE under Kakatiya authority (inscription credits Raja Vithala under minister Gore Gangaya during Rudrama Devi’s reign). Later enlarged by the Bahmanis; Krishnadevaraya celebrated a conquest by building the north entrance. A unique monolith record dated Nov 23, 1294 survives on site.
