The city of [[Vijayapura, Karnataka|Vijayapura]] is the headquarters of the district, and is located 530&nbsp;km northwest of [[Bangalore]]. Vijayapura is well known for the great monuments of historical importance built during the [[Adil Shahi]] dynasty.
 
==History==

In 1347, the area was conquered by the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] of [[Gulbarga|Kalaburagi]]. By this time the city was being referred as Vijapur or Bijapur.
 
In 1518, the Bahmani Sultanate split into five splinter states known as the [[Deccan sultanates]], one of which was Bijapur, ruled by the kings of the [[Adil Shahi]] dynasty (1490–1686). The city of Bijapur owes much of its greatness to Yusuf Adil Shah, the founder of the independent Bijapur Sultanate. The rule of this dynasty ended in 1686, when Vijayapura was conquered by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] emperor [[Aurangzeb]]. In 1724 the [[Nizam]] of [[Hyderabad state|Hyderabad]] established his independence in the Deccan, and included Vijayapura within his dominions. In 1760, the Nizam suffered a defeat by the [[Maratha]]s, and ceded the region of Vijayapura to the [[Maratha]] [[Peshwa]]. After the 1818 defeat of the Peshwa by the [[United Kingdom|British]] in the [[Third Anglo-Maratha War]], Vijayapura passed into the hands of the [[British East India Company]], and was assigned to the [[princely state]] of [[Satara state|Satara]].
 
In 1848 the territory of Satara, along with Vijayapura, was annexed to Britain's [[Bombay Presidency]] when the last ruler died without a male heir. The British carved a new district by the name Kaladagi. The district included present-day Vijayapura and Bagalkote districts. Vijayapura was made the administrative headquarters of the district in 1885, when the headquarters were moved from Bagalkote. After India's Independence in 1947, the district became part of [[Bombay state]] and was reassigned to [[Mysore state]], later Karnataka, in 1956. The former southern taluks of the district were separated in 1997 to form Bagalkote District.
 
The citadel, built by Yusuf Adil Shah, a mile (2&nbsp;km) in circuit, is of great strength, well built of the most massive materials, and encompassed by a ditch 100&nbsp;yards wide, formerly supplied with water, but now nearly filled up with rubbish, so that its original depth cannot be discovered. Within the citadel are the remains of both Hindu temples and old mosques, which prove that Vijayapura was an important town. The fort, which was completed by Au Adil Shah in 1566, is surrounded by a wall 6&nbsp;m. in circumference. This wall is from 30 to 50&nbsp;ft (10 to 15&nbsp;m) high, and is strengthened with 96 massive bastions of various designs. In addition there are ten others at the various gateways. The width is about 25&nbsp;ft (8&nbsp;m); from bastion to bastion runs a battlemented curtained wall about 10&nbsp;ft (3&nbsp;m) high. The whole is surrounded by a deep [[moat]] 30 to 40&nbsp;ft (10 to 12&nbsp;m) broad. Inside these walls the Vijayapura kings bade deference to all comers. Outside the walls are the remains of a vast city, now for the most part in ruins, but the innumerable tombs, mosques, caravanserais and other edifices, which have resisted the havoc of time, afford abundant evidence of the ancient splendour of the place.
 
[[Badami]], [[Aihole]], and [[Pattadakal]], near Vijayapura, are noted for their historical temples in the [[Chalukya]] architectural style.

==Geography==
Vijayapura District has an area of 10541 square kilometres.  It is bounded on the east by [[Gulbarga district|Kalaburagi]] and [[Yadgir district|Yadagiri]] districts, on the southeast by [[Raichur district|Raichur]] district, on the south and southwest by [[Bagalkot District|Bagalkote District]], on the west by [[Belagavi District|Belagavi]] district, and on the northwest and north by [[Sangli district|Sangli]] and [[Solapur district|Solapur]] districts of [[Maharashtra|Maharahstra]].
 
It consists 5.49% of Karnataka state area. It lies between 15 x 50 and 17 x 28 North Latitude and 74 x 54 and 76 x 28 East Longitude. The administrative headquarters and chief town is Vijayapura.
 
Geographically, the district lies in the tract of the [[Deccan Plateau]]s. The lands of the district can be broadly divided into three zones: the northern belt consisting of the northern parts of Vijayapura Taluks of Indi and Sindagi; the central belt consisting of Bijapur city; the southern belt consisting of the rich alluvial plains of the Krishna Rivers parted from the central belt by a stretch of barren Trap. The northern belt is a succession of low rolling uplands without much vegetation, gently rounded and falling into intermediate narrow valleys. The upland soil being shallow, the villages are generally confined to the banks of the streams and are far away from one another. The Don River Valley has plains and consists of rich tracks of deep black soils stretching from west to east in the central part of the district.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ground Water Information Booklet, Bijapur District, Karnataka|publisher=Central Ground Water Board, Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India|date=July 2008|page=8|url=http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/Bijapur-brochure.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100806231341/http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/karnataka/Bijapur-brochure.pdf|archive-date=6 August 2010|url-status=live}}</ref> Across the Krishna River is a rich plain crossed from west to east by two lines of sandstone hills. Further south towards [[Badami]] and southwest to east by two lines of [[sandstone]] hills. Further south towards Badami and southwest of Hunagund, the hills increase the number and the [[Vertisol|black soil]] gives way to the red

One is near the Ibrahim Roza monument in Vijayapura with a girth of 10.84&nbsp;m and height of 5&nbsp;m and another at Yogapura Dargah, near Vijayapura, which is believed to be at least 359 years old with 9.2&nbsp;m girth and seven&nbsp;m height. Both these trees were planted during the reign of Adil Shahis. Experts say that the kings of Adil Shahi dynasty were all fascinated by nature, and these particular saplings of the ''Adansonia digitata'' had been imported from Turkey to be planted in Vijayapura. The kings were very particular about the nurturing of these plants and took care of their needs like their own children.
==Transport==
Vijayapura is connected by [[Rail transport in India|rail]] and road. There is a non-commercial airport at [[Solapur]] (IATA: SSE), some 100 kilometres to the north.  The nearest commercial airport, with flights by IndiGo, Spicejet and Air India, is at [[Belgaum|Belagavi]] (IATA: IXG), some 200 kilometres away. The helipad at the [[Sainik School]] is used only when government guests or public office bearers visit the district and is not open for general public.
Vijayapura has a broad gauge station of [[South Western Railway zone|South Western Railways]] about two kilometres from the city centre of Vijayapura<ref>[http://www.southwesternrailway.in &nbsp;Complete Info SWR]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206110039/http://www.southwesternrailway.in/ |date=6 December 2010  }}</ref> with direct train connections to Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Hubballi, Solapur and Shirdi.
The state owned North West Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation<ref>{{Cite web |title=Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation |url=http://ksrtc.in/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101218201816/http://ksrtc.in/ |archive-date=18 December 2010 |url-status=live }}</ref> runs buses to all parts of the district.  Local buses run within Vijayapura city limits as well as villages within a 15&nbsp;km radius. The frequency of these buses are higher in comparison to those buses which ply on longer routes. Private tour operators also run luxury bus services from the Bijapur city to [[Bengaluru]], [[Hubli|Hubballi]], [[Dharwad]] and [[Belgaum|Belagavi]].  Within the city [[Tata Sumo]], [[Tata Indica]] and Tempo Trax<ref>[http://www.forcemotors.com/html/productdetails.aspx?id=67&root=1 Tempo Trax]  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060715103549/http://www.forcemotors.com/html/productdetails.aspx?id=67&root=1 |date=15 July 2006 }}</ref> are used as taxis by local operators. Autos and [[Tonga (carriage)|Tongas]] are still popular mode of local transport in the city. Cycle Rickshaws are used only to transport materials and people hardly ever travel by them.
==Sports==
Off late Bijapur district has produced some of the best known Road Cyclists in the national circuit. Premalata Sureban was part of the Indian contingent at the Perlis Open '99 in Malaysia.<ref>{{cite web|title=Participation of Indian Team( Men & Women) in International Competitions|url=http://sportal.nic.in/front.asp?maincatid=38&headingid=120 |access-date=6 February 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927011844/http://sportal.nic.in/front.asp?maincatid=38&headingid=120 |archive-date=27 September 2007 }}</ref>
[[B. R. Ambedkar|Dr. B.R.Ambedkar]] Sports complex serves as the main centre for all activities related to sports. Facilities are available in the single sports complex for track and field events, [[volleyball]], [[basketball]], [[cricket]] and a velodrome for cycling. Apart from the government-managed infrastructure the private trust run BLDEA's Medical and Engineering college campus has also access to the facilities for fitness and sports. It can be noted that the popular games in the rural areas are [[Kabaddi]] and [[Kho Kho]] apart from [[Cricket]]. Cricket is still popular among local youth however having a winning team of volleyball and [[Association football|football]] is a matter of prestige for all the schools and colleges.
Every year the district administration organizes the Dasara Sports Meet during the [[Navrati|Dasara]] festival to identify and nurture the talent of the future.
==Art and culture==
Navaraspur was the auditorium of the Adil Shahs, it is about 10&nbsp;km outside the city limits. The ruins of the site are still visible.

Great personalities like [[Bhimsen Joshi]], [[Ustad Alla Rakha]], [[Zakir Hussain (musician)|Zakir Hussain]], Mallikarjun Mansur, [[Gangubai Hangal]] and many more have performed in this festival.
* '''Shri Shiddeshwar Temple''' situated at the heart of the city is a holy place for Hindus which is also a very beautiful tourist place to visit. During [[Makar Sankranti]] an annual fare is organized by Shri Siddheshwar Temple. This fair is well known for the cattle market which is organized outside the city limits. Farmers from neighboring villages and even some parts of Maharashtra come to trade in cattle. During this period fireworks display will be held.
* '''The Kittur Rani Chenamma Theatre''' still stages dramas by professionals. However, due to the decrease in the patronage the drama companies are closing down. [[Ninasam]], (Shri Nilakanteshwara Nataka Sangha), an experimental theatre troupe started by [[K. V. Subbanna]], visited Bijapur and showcased their art during the Ninasam ''"Tirugata"'' (meaning: Wandering in [[Kannada]]). '''Kandgal Hanumantharayara Ranga Mandira''', on the station road, serves as the centre of art of culture. During summer many workshops on theatre are held at this auditorium under the sponsorship of the local administration.
