The Ravadurg Gooty Fort is one of the oldest hill forts of Andhra Pradesh. The fort structure replicates a shell. The fort is full of inscribed walls, pillars and doors.
Its earliest inscription dates back to the 7th century. The fort inscriptions call this fort 'Gadha', while the other refers to it as the 'King of Forts'. Mir Jumla conquered the fort, however, it was soon taken over by Haider Ali in 1773. The fort was ultimately taken over by the British, by defeating Tipu Sultan in 1799.
