The Gulbarga Fort is located in Kalaburagi in the Kalaburagi district of North Karnataka. It was significantly enlarged in 1347 by Al-ud-din Hasan Bahmani of the Bahmani Dynasty after he cut off his ties with the Delhi Sultanate. Over time, Islamic monuments such as mosques, palaces, tombs, and other structures were also built within the refurbished fort.

One of the notable structures within the fort is the Jama Masjid, which was built in 1367. This mosque is a unique example of Persian architectural style. It is fully enclosed and features elegant domes and arched columns, setting it apart from other mosques in India.

The Jama Masjid was constructed to commemorate the establishment of the dynastic rule of the Bahmani kingdom at Kalaburagi fort between 1327 and 1424. The fort served as the capital of the Bahmani Kingdom until 1424, when the capital was shifted to Bidar Fort due to its better climatic conditions.
