About the place -
Solapur fort is a land fort situated near the Siddheshwar Temple and lake. It was built by Bahamani Sultan in 14th century.
Naladurga is the biggest land fort among all land forts in Maharashtra. The fortification of Naldurga is spread around 3 km and there are 114 bastions in this fortification. There are different kinds of the bastions which were experimented in this fort. Some places they are Hexagonal, Pentagonal, Square, Semi circular and at some places in the shape of 9 petaled bastion. There is a twin fort [Jod Killa] which is called as Ranmandal built behind the moat to secure the original Naldurga fort. A land fort must have a moat around, so flow of Bori river was turned around the fort and was used as moat and fort was secured. PaniMahal is the most attractive monument on this fort.
