Kaladarshana - Ancient and Medieval Historical Indian Architecture and Art

Bidar

Fortifications at Bidar date from the late 14th century when it became the capital of the later Bahmanis. Massive fort walls encompass the city as well as a citadel at the north. The citadel has spectacular gateways and ruins of palaces and mosques on a promontory that falls sharply to plains on the north and east. Recent excavations have shown that the palace area was in use from Chalukya times.
