The Renuka–Yellamma temple on Yellammana Gudda, about 5 km from Saundatti. Belagavi district dates the present temple to 1514; its jatres require current crowd and transport planning.

The fort and palace ruins of the Desai chiefs of Kittur, where in 1824 Rani Chennamma led one of the earliest armed revolts against the British East India Company; the on-site museum holds arms, coins and sculptures from the fort.
