Chitradurga is built around a hill fort known locally as Kallina Kote, the stone fort, whose seven concentric rings of walls wrap around granite hills and boulders. Developed largely under the Nayakas of Chitradurga and later held by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, the fort contains temples such as the Hidimbeshwara temple, granaries, oil pits, water tanks fed by rock catchments, and narrow gateways placed to slow attackers. The story of Onake Obavva, who defended a crevice in the walls, is attached to a spot still visited today. Outside the fort, the Chandravalli area has caves and early archaeological finds. The dry climate and abundant stone make the city an excellent place to study masonry and defence planning.
