Kallur Archaeological Site

A Kakatiya-era hill fort a few kilometres from Raichur (Maliyabad), from whose ruins were recovered two life-size white-granite Vijayanagara elephants that stand as its best-known relics.

The great hill fort of Raichur, whose long inscription dates Kakatiya defensive work to 23 November 1294 and which was later held by the Vijayanagara, Bahmani and Adil Shahi powers — a double ring of walls and bastions climbing to the Bala Hisar citadel, with famous inscribed and sculpted gateways.

A state-protected mosque in Raichur city commissioned in the early 16th century in the Ahmadnagar-Sultanate style, named for its single tall two-storey minaret (ek minar) rising over the prayer hall.

The temple town of Gabbur (Garbhapura) with some thirty mostly Kalyani-Chalukya temples and around twenty-eight inscriptions, including a 1109 CE agrahara grant of Vikramaditya VI — Lakshmi-Venkateshwara, Hanuman and Basaveshwara shrines among them.

The old ruined hill fort of Manvi, birthplace of the Haridasa saint Jagannatha Dasa, with a hilltop Mallikarjuna shrine and an internal dargah within its bastioned walls.

A five-faced Hanuman (Panchamukhi Anjaneya) cave shrine at Ganadhal near Raichur, revered as the spot where the saint Raghavendra Swami is said to have performed a twelve-year penance.

Hutti (Hatti) in Lingsugur taluk is India's only major working gold mine — a landscape of ancient hand-dug workings overlaid by the modern deep underground mine of the state gold company.

A Minor Rock Edict of Emperor Ashoka carved on a granite boulder at Maski — the first edict found to name "Devanampriya Ashoka", which conclusively identified the title Devanampriya with the emperor Ashoka; an ASI monument of national importance.
