Kot Siveshvar, Karwar

Kot Siveshvar, a fortress in close proximity to the town of Karwar, is an attraction that visitors should stop by if their itinerary permits. The fortress, built by Bijapur Sultanate, falls within a small village named Siveshvar.

According to historians, Kot Siveshvar was constructed to safeguard the northern extremes of Canara. Though the site is in a dilapidated condition now, a well, a Muslim graveyard and a tunnel located at the eastern gate are still visible.
