Penukonda is a heritage-heavy visit: fort remains, rocky hill views, and old structures like palace ruins give it a layered “capital-town” feel. It works well for people who enjoy quiet historical sites where you can still sense strategic planning—watch points, gateways, and elevated ridges.
About this place
History & highlights
After the Battle of Talikota (1565), the Vijayanagara capital is noted to have shifted to Penukonda for a period, which explains its historic prominence and fort-town development. Cultural layers here reflect shifting control and mixed religious heritage across centuries.
