Belgaum Fort: Located in the heart of the city, the Belgaum Fort towers over the Belgaum landscape with its elliptical layout. One of the oldest forts of Karnataka, the Belgaum Fort is unique for a myriad of religious shrines within its ramparts. At the entrance, two shrines devoted to Ganapathi and Durga exist in harmony with the two ancient mosques, the Safa Masjid and the Jamia Masjid.

Kamala Basti: Located inside the Belgaum Fort are two Jain bastis built in the Late Chalukyan style. Of these, the more famous is the Kamala basti, built in 1204. The Kamala Basti has a huge protruding lotus (Kamala) in its ceiling and houses the idol of the twenty-second Jain Teerthankara Neminatha.

Gokak Falls: An off-shoot of the road from Belgaum to Miraj, known as the Gokak road which is 53 km from Belgaum, leads through its 8 km long stretch to the Ghataprabha station where the rail tourists alight to visit the vivacious waterfalls. The glorious river Ghataprabha makes this gorgeous ghat section a pleasant picnic spot with its splendid waters making a marvelous dive of 52 m and thereby creating these smashing waterfalls.

St. Mary’s Church: A tour of Belgaum should feature the city’s majestic churches. The St. Mary’s church in Belgaum boasts of an awe-inspiring architecture. Built in 1869, the gothic stone structure of the church features imposing stained glass windows. Biblical drawings adorn the walls of the church. Other prominent churches are: St. Xavier’s church, St. Anthony’s church, the Cathedral of Our Lady and Methodist church.

Kapileshwara Temple: One of the oldest temples of Belgaum is the Kapileshwara temple, also known as “Dakshina Kashi”. It is said that the journey to the 12 jyotirlingas of India is incomplete without a visit to this temple. The festival Mahashivratri is celebrated here with great enthusiasm and devotees from far and wide visits the venue to feel religious essence. The lingam here is believed to have self originated.

Rakaskop: This hamlet is just 16 Kms from Belgaum city. Rakaskop literally means a hamlet of a Rakkasa (Giant), who is stated to have lived on a hillock near the village. A cavern in laterite on the hillrock resembling a huge seated human figure is shown by the people to remind his past existence. The dam across the river Markandeya supplies drinking water to the residents of Belgaum municipality.

Safa Masjid: Most of monuments that you will see here were built around the beginning of the 13th century. Do not miss a thorough exploration of the Safa Masjid, one of the two mosques inside the fort, and by far the best of the 25-30 mosques in the city. The minars, domes and arches point to a typical fusion of Indo - Saracenic and Deccan styles of architecture. (Wander up the staircase to the balcony and open terrace without missing any of the prolific floral carvings on the wooden doors.) Two of the circular pillars that you will pass in the Jamina hall are said to be from old temples. The sense of the past is all pervading here. Some of the pillars have kannada inscriptions in the Devanagari Script. Others have the beautiful Persian script forming exquisite calligraphic decorations.

Masjid-I-Satya (1519): Is one of the oldest mosques and certainly the most beautiful. A captain of the Bijapur army Azad Khan built it. Belgaum is also noted for its Jain architecture and sculpture.

Saundatti: the original capital of Rattas and a celebrated pilgrim centre. The fort here was built in 1734 by Jayagauda Desai. The eight mighty bastions are worth a look. The Yellamma Temple is famous goddess for Joguthi tribal people. It is also called as Yellamma Gudda. The Renuka Sagar of the Naviluthirtha Dam touches the low - lying areas of Saundatti. 72 kms from Belgaum.

Halasi: About 14 km from Khanapur Railway Station this historic place Halasi amidst the verdant sylvan region of the Western ghats hosts the Jain Basti built by the early Kadamba rulers who were devout patrons of Jainism.

The ancient temple known as the Bhuvaraha Narasimha built by the Goa Kadambas in the 12th century is also situated here. The temple structure replete with exquisite carvings gets us an awesome glimpse of the richness of the 12th century Kadamba architecture. The sculptural excellence is evident from the huge images of Lord Varaha, Lord Narasimha, Lord Narayana, and Lord Surya and so on. The other important monuments here are the ancient temples dedicated to Lord Gokarneswara, Lord Kapileswara, Lord Swarneswara and Lord Hatakeswara.
