Warangal Fort- From where the Koh-i-noor was taken#BlogchatterA2Z

Warangal Fort is located in Warangal District, Telangana, India. The fort is included in the "tentative list" of UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Historians agree that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva and was completed by his daughter Rudrama Devi . 

Twenty years later, the kingdom was conquered by the Delhi Sultanate. 

In 1309, Malik Kafur, the general of Alauddin Khilji, attacked the fort with a large force and surrounded it. As the siege was unable to be lifted for more than six months, the ruler agreed to a truce with Kafur which included the Koh-i-Noor diamond along with various precious treasures, which he took it back to Delhi.

The inner fortress was built of stone and surrounded by a moat that the Muslim soldiers swam across.

When Kafur finally left the fort , he carried away the bounty on 2,000 camels !!
