| Veloor Fort - Tamil Nadu |
Located 125 km west of Madras in Tamil Nadu, the outer length of the Vellore Fort is about 758 m high and 455 m wide. The height of the outer wall is about 9 feet and the breadth is about 8 m. The Sultan of Bijapur seized Vellore by the middle of the 17th century. In 1676, the fort was captured by the Marathas who were in turn ousted by Daud Khan of Delhi in 1708. The temple and the fort were brought under the control of ASI in 1921. The fort is considered to one of the most perfect specimens of military architecture.(by-7wonderofindia)
