This single-domed structure stands on the north-western corner of the citadel next to the fort walls. The structure probably doubled up as a watch tower. Nothing much is known about the history of the tomb or its occupants. According to legend, once a thief used to store his loot in the tomb and hence the name. The other name, Shor Gumbad, literally translates into noisy dome. The interiors of the tomb have unique acoustic properties, allowing the sound to echo through the interiors of the tomb.
Entry to the Gulbaraga Fort is through the north-west. The arched gateway is flanked by bastions and topped with battlements.
Bala Hissr is a dojon (heavily fortified central tower of a fort) located inside the Gulbaraga Fort. It was added by Alauddin Hasan Bahman Shah, the founder of the Bahmani dynasty. Three large cannons rest atop the tower.
The mosque was built in 1367 by Bahmani Sultan Mohammed Shah I to commemorate the establishment of the capital in Gulbarga following the defeat Kapaya Nayaka of Warangal.
This small three domed mosque is located north of the Jami Masjid
