The Thousand Pillar Temple: Located near the fort, this temple is a masterpiece of Kakatiyan architecture, dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Bhadrakali Temple: This ancient temple, dedicated to the goddess Bhadrakali, was originally built around 625 AD during the Chalukyan reign and was later adopted by the Kakatiyas.
Invasions: The fort faced several attacks, most notably an invasion by Malik Kafur, a general of Alauddin Khilji, in 1309.
UNESCO Status: Warangal Fort is on the "tentative list" for UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
