Khammam Fort

Khammam Fort

Construction of the Khammam Fort (India) was initiated around 950 when the Telugu area (now Andhra Pradesh) was ruled by the Kakatiya dynasty (10th - 13th century). The Reddi Kings Velma and Laksham (Reddi dynasty 1328 - 1428) were actively involved in the construction of the fort situated on the Stambhadri hill. Subsequently the Qutb Shahi kingdom (1531) strived hard for developing both Khammam Fort and other parts of the region. Thus Khammam Fort represents both Hindu and Muslim architectural influences (cultures).Two years back this fort has celebrated 1000 years of existence, now its shaping to become a major tourist spots.
