Bijapur’s most famous monument is the Gol Gumbaz. The final resting place of Mohammed Adil Shah, Gol Gumbaz is easily recognisable thanks to its circular dome. You can also spend an entire day at the Bijapur Fort that’s home to many monuments. There’s the Jamia Masjid, that includes 2250 tiles resembling prayer mats {as ordered by Aurangzeb}. There’s also Ibrahim Rauza {the tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah II and his wife}. And the Malik-e-Maidan, where you can gawk at one of the largest medieval cannons ever made.
