Domkonda Fort is a historical heritage and tourist destination of Telangana.

It is believed that at that time a small fort or post existed here which protected trade routes and borders. The present form of Domakonda Fort was given by the Reddy rulers of Domakonda in the 18th century. The Reddy community had established an independent principality in this area and they built this grand fort on the remains of the old Kakatiya fort. This fort served as the capital and military command center of the Reddy rulers. Its location was at a strategic location between Hyderabad i.e. Qutub Shahi and Vijayanagara Empire which made it a center of trade and military activities.

When the Qutb Shahi Sultans of Golconda extended their influence over the region, the Reddy rulers of Domakonda accepted their subjugation. During this period the fort remained an important jagir and its rulers also held high posts in the Qutb Shahi army. The princely state of Domkonda maintained its importance even during the rule of the Nizams over Hyderabad, this fort was an important military base and administrative center for the army of the Nizam of Hyderabad.
