Summary

Description
English: This is the Ratnagiri hill fort's main entrance, a massive brick wall with an arched gateway. This wall was built during Hyder Ali or Tipu Sultan's rule. It is said that Ratnagiri fort was an important fort in Pandyas and Cholas kingdoms. It was also part of Vijayanagara kingdom, hence the presence of the temples. After the fall of Vijayanagara, the fort might have been under Nayakas. At some point in history the fort fell to Hyder or Tipu's forces. That's when the fort was renovated probably with the help of French engineers. The fort's perimeter is approximately 4.5 kms spanning over plains and two hillocks.
