There are numerous historical remnants and ruins that can be seen throughout the city. Stones have been plundered and some of them are in disarray. We visited the Bijapur fort but as we wandered inside the stench of urine overwhelmed us so much that we were forced to turn back. The above four monuments are relatively well looked after, and we would suggest visiting them. All said and done, Bijapur is a city that looks tantalizingly stuck between the past and the present. Wherever you stop in the city, you will see signs of an impressive empire. The inhabitants of the city have moved on to more modern accommodation making the city a mix of the past and the present. It’s a place that you can spend a few days exploring and one that sadly few venture too.
