Shivappa Nayakana Kote - Nagara Fort

Nagara is approachable from Thirthahalli, Kollur and Sagara via Hosanagara. It is surrounded by Varahi, Savehaklu, Chakra and Linganamakki dam. It is also near to Kavaledurga Fort.

From the notice board at the entrance what we can infer is:
The contemporary literature “Keladi Nripavijayam” in kannada language records that Nagara was won over by Hiriya Venkatappa Nayaka (1505 – 1552) during his expansion of kingdom from the Honneya Kambali rulers. In 1561 his successor Veerabhadra Nayaka mdade this his capital and Shivappa Nayaka (1645 – 1665) ascended the throne at Nagar (Bidanur) who fortified and added many a structure.
