Begur Fort

Panchalingeshwara temple is located in the centre of Begur, and has a 1100 years old inscription, which has the oldest existing reference to a place called 'Bengaluru'. Near this temple, there exists a tiny circular fort, about 1.4 km² in area. The date of construction is unknown (no research done), but the existence of a 1100-year-old inscription on the gateway of the fort would suggest the same age for the fort.

Mud is used in the construction of the circular fort, with stone used for construction of the gateways. There are also 2 small temples dating to the 17th or 18th century. There are no other buildings within the fort, except for some small mounds, which could reveal buried structures. Surprisingly, the mud walls of the fort are still intact, and is covered with green vegetation. Scaling the walls, one can see the traces of the ancient moat which would have surrounded the fort. Only goats and goatherds venture into the fort nowadays. There is uncertainty on when the land sharks would gobble up this piece of precious history.^[1]
