About Daulatabad Fort

Daulatabad fort which was built in 12th century is located around 15 km away from the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra and is said to be one of the seven wonders of Maharasthtra. Daulatabad Fort is an ancient fort that is surrounded by verdant greenery and the most unique feature of the Daulatabad Fort is its location, from the top of which you can capture a magnificant view of the entire city for which one need to climb some 750 odd steps up to the top, but the view down below is a wonderful thing to behold. One of the best qualities of this fort is its design which makes it one of the most powerful fort of the medieval period. Earlier Daultabad was known as 'Devgiri' meaning the 'the hill of gods' which was built by the King of Yadava dynasty, Raja Bhillamraj Yadav in the year 1187 and the main constructions include both Daulatabad fort and Devgiri fort. The fort is considered among the best-preserved forts in the country which has survived several years without any alteration. The prosperous kingdom of Yadava dynasty was taken over by the Tughlaq dynasty of Delhi under the leadership of Mohammad Bin Tughlaq who captured the town of Devgiri along with the two forts.
