Medak is located towards the north of the Hyderabad city some 60 kms
away. Medak is a small district with the bondaries shared to the adjacent
places of Warangal, Nalgonda, Hyderabad and Nizamabad. There is a national
highway and a railway line that connects the place with that of Hyderabad city.
Medak was formerly popular as Siddapur Medak, the prefix
however, lost its importance in the popular usage. The region was ruled by
Kakatiyan rulers in the past. During the reign of Kakatiyan rulers the region
served as one of the commanding posts. The district profile is adorned by the
heritage left behind by these great rulers and the rich resources it possesses.
The place is provided with a number of places that act as a good bait to the
tourists. There are however, no nets and nothing fishy. The place is a known
tourists destinations with some of the best attractions taking the form of
ancient monuments, worshipping places and animal reserves.
Medak Fort that exists as a citadel bears the hallmark of the
Kakatiyan empire. The fort built on a hillock is an epitome of architectural
and millitary excellence. The strategic location and the construction makes it
a marvel in the city.
Medak Church built in the year1924 (year of completion) reveals
the touch of the perfection and beauty of the art. The stained glass work is
incredible. The building material (tiles) have been imported from Italy. The
whole structure portrays a perfect example of Gothic building style.
The Wildlife Sanctuary at Medak is one more tourists’ favorite.
The sanctuary inhabits a number of woodland species including leopard, forest
cat, wild dog, wolf, sloth bear, sambar, nilgai, chital and four horned
antelope
