🕌 Shorapur Fort
The Nayaks of Shorapur, who ruled Shorapur from around 1639 to 1857 have left an indelible mark on the history of the region. They built Shorapur city and a fort which was ruined by the attack of Mughals. However, it is believed Nayaks forces defeated Mughal forces and repossessed the fort. The fort walls are spread over several steep faced hills surrounding the town. It is also known for its old hilltop bungalow called Taylor Manzil built by Philip Meadows Taylor, a British officer who was commissioned to look after the Shorapur Principality.
