Badami Fort

Badami Fort was the seat of the rulers of the Chalukya Empire from 543 CE to 757 CE.^[1]

The design of the fort features circular ramparts equipped with observation posts. A cannon is positioned on one of the ramparts, and the fort also contains a few deteriorated pillared structures along with several pavilions at the top. Additionally, there are two dome-shaped stone structures with an entrance opening, as well as storage rooms for arms and ammunition. The absence of houses or palaces suggests that the fort likely served solely as the city’s first line of defense.^{[2][3][page needed]}
