Kondapalli Fort is situated in the Kondapalli village at a distance of 16km from Vijayawada city, towards the west side. It is believed to have been built by Prolaya Vema Reddy during the 14th Century. The king used to visit this fort for relaxation and recreation. Later, the fort was used as a business centre and then again as a military training base by the British rulers. Situated on a hill, the fort has an impressive three storied rock tower. It passed hands successively and was witness to the rise and fall of many dynasties. Near the fort there is a Dargah of a Persian Saint, Gareeb Sahib. The village is also famous for its wooden toys. Kondapalli is connected to Vijayawada by road and one can use private transport to reach here.
