Located about 15 km from Tirupati, this 11th-century fort served as the fourth and final capital of the Vijayanagara Empire and is a brilliant example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. Guests can explore the iconic Raja Mahal — now an archaeological museum housing stone sculptures, coins, and bronze idols — and the ornate Rani Mahal amid lush, green surroundings. It is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and photographers alike.
