History
Warangal Fort was originally built in the 12th century by the Kakatiya dynasty, who ruled the region for over two centuries. The fort served as the capital of the Kakatiya kingdom and witnessed numerous battles and sieges. The Kakatiyas were renowned for their patronage of art, architecture, and literature, which is reflected in the fort's intricate carvings and impressive structures. After the decline of the Kakatiya dynasty, the fort fell into the hands of various rulers, including the Delhi Sultanate and the Qutb Shahi dynasty. Each dynasty left its mark on the fort, adding to its diverse architectural styles. Today, the fort stands as a reminder of the region's rich and turbulent past, attracting visitors from all over the world.
