Gulbarga was the capital of the Bahmani Kings from 1347 A.D. to 1428 A.D. The jami or Juma Masjid located inside the old fort was built by a moorish architect around the 15th century, in imitation of the great mosque in Cordova, Spain. Uniquely built, it has a huge dome canopying the entire area, four smaller domes and 75 smaller ones.
