About Qila Fort Jagityal:
Jagtial Fort throws light on the rich history of rulers but stands out because it is the only star-shaped fort in Telangana that is fitted with canons. The Mughal dynasty used it as a Defence Fort in the 17 century. During the 17th century, the fort was designed by two European engineers – Jack and Tal. It is surrounded by four water bodies – Mote pond, Dharma Samandar, Mupparaap and Kandla Palli. The place, later known as Jagtial, was inspired by the names of these two engineers. True to its name, the fort is a must visit for heritage lovers and tourists keen on culling out the history of rulers and dynasties. It bears a strong resemblance to the castles of Europe.
According to Archaeological Department officials, it was built during the reign of Nawab Ibrahim, a Governor in the Mughal dynasty. The fort has two wooden gates, which were lifted by using pulleys. This is the only star-shaped fort in the State with a moat (water body).
