Nizamabad Fort
Built by the Rashtrakutas, Nizamabad Fort is the pride of the city as well as the district. In 1311 AD, this Fort was occupied by Allauddin Khilji, followed by the Bahamanis, Qutub Shahis and eventually by Asaf Jahis. Dating back to the 10th century, the colossal fort is encircled by fortifications and bastions. Today, its spacious halls and summer house reflect the Asaf Jahi style of architecture.
