Bidar 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.
