Uparkot Fort

Description:
This is the very fort from where the city derives its name. Famous in by gone times for its virtual inaccessibility, the Uparkot or Upper Fort is girdled by a wall that is, in some places, over 20m high. An ornate entrance gateway leads to the ruins. A mosque still stands in a state of preservation. A rare canon called the Nilam Toph was acquired by the Nawab from Diu which can be seen here.
Other than the magnificent fort, the premises hold other sites to be visited like the two step wells, Jama Masjid and Buddhist caves. It's said the fort was besieged for a full 12 years. In all, it was besieged 16 times. It is also said that the fort was abandoned from the 7th to10th centuries and, when rediscovered, it was completely over grown by jungle.
