Kondapalli Fort, Kondapalli, Andhra Pradesh.

Kondapalli Fort, Kondapalli, Andhra Pradesh.
Kondapalli Fort, also locally known as Kondapalli Kota, is located in the Krishna district, close to Vijayawada, the second largest city of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Other than this, one finds inside a reservoir, Golconda Darwaza, Dargah of Gareeb Saheeb, Tanisha Mahal and several bits of history claimed by ruins.
what one must not miss while in this area are the Kondapalli Toys, light weight wooden toys from the village around.
Some historians claim that the fort dates back to the 7th century, built by King Krishna Deva Raya. The fort got renovated later under the control of the Qutub Shahis. Today, its broken and dilapidated facades give you a glimpse of its past glories.
September to February are good to visit the place as the weather turns very pleasant — an ideal time for one to explore and walk about the fort’s ramparts.
