Fort: Malkapur
Fort Base: Malkapur (Buldhana district)
The next fort we went to see was Malkapur which is located within Malkapur city. This place is also known as Baradaari and nothing much exists except dilapidated entrance doors and some inner bastions. Many people now live inside the fort in small shabby houses. This fort had 12 entrances and was a big fort during Mughal times
History of the fort: The fort is believed to be built during the 12th Century. No idea of who built this fort.
It was also ruled by the Mughals for a long time post their entry in India.

my friend jayram, you've written that this fort in the malkapur city was built in the 12th century by the Mughals. Let me kindly remind you that Mughals cam in India after the battle of Panipat in 1526 and had not step a foot in India's land, never as much in the deccan region.
I properly hail from Malkapur and although I cannot tell you the proper date of its foundation, I can assure you that you have been wrongly informed about this fort being built by Mughals.
