Bijapur
Information
Travel
to Bijapur, the ancient town, dotted with mosques, mausoleums,
palaces and fortifications, was the capital of the Adil Shahi
Dynasty. Once the capital of the Adil Shahis, it was a city that "exceeded
anything of its kind in Europe". Even today, it retains its
dignity and royal grandeur. Still strongly Muslim in character,
Bijapur has many places of historical, cultural and architectural
interest. Even though many of the structures were damaged by
Aurangazeb, Bijapur remains a must-see town.
