There is 2 canons above this monument less than 50 steps good place to visit and you can enjoy a sunset at evening

The architectural beauty of the structure, along with the stunning view from the top, makes it a place which is not to be missed by anyone visiting the region.In addition, the top of the tower has got two ancient cannons which were a part of the defense system of the city, for visitors to look into.No fee for this public space

One of the best historical place to watc over Bijapur the city of victory.

Upli Buraz is one of the historical monuments of the historical city Bijapur(Vijayapur). It was built around 100 feet height to view around the city. Everything around the Bijapur city can be seen clearly.Groves are kept there at the top of Upli Buraz.The New generation must show interest to see such monuments and try to know much about our history specially engineering technology, purpose of the building, its stiffness and so many other things. It is situated in the center of the city and easy to reach it from Bus stand or Railway station.

This place is historical with 2 canons on top.I think this was a watch tower like structure during those days. You can clearly see almost vijayapura from here.Still I am wondering how could these heavy weighted canons has been shifted to top of it. Great dedication and determination of our ancestors.

Nearly 80 Steps. Not so attractive.

The Upli Burz is a defensive tower built in.around 1584 by Hyder Khan as part of the old fortification walls of Bijapur. Its a large spherical tower, 24 metres high with commanding views of the surrounding area. The tower stands almost on its own with little evidence that it was once connected to a defensive system, though you can still see the old walls in the surrounding area.Getting to the top of the tower involves climbing circular steps around the outside of the tower. At the top of the tower, the platform offers a commanding view of the city and theres also two cannons of huge size there.Upli Burz is a protected monument, though theres little evidence of much protection. Its free to enter and worth a quick stop if youre in the area. It’s also one of the more interesting things to see in Bijapur.

This place has 2 huge ancient time cannons . You have to climb a number of stairs to reach the top. Top point offers a magnificent view of Bijapur. Not too many things to looks at or do except the cannons. Still a good place to visit

Good places to see at bijapur

Nice place middel of the city

Its name is not upli burz it is Ali burz inner fort wall

You can whole Vijayapura city from top of this place

(Visited in June 2019) - A spot of history surrounded by houses, Cannons atop a fort/fort tower in Bijapur/Vijayapura - you could get a nice view of the city from here. There are no no information/sign boards about the monument. It is walkable from the more popular Malik-E-Maidan cannon. Be careful as climbing these old steps could be exhaustive.

IInd best spot after Golf Gumbaz. Tourists must visit this place, because U can view Whole Bijapur city including Gol Gumbaz & other places on the top of Upli Burz. Steps are 70+3. Better to climb in the morning & evening within 6 p.m.Situated very near to bus stand. U can also visit Mulak E Maidan sightseeing by walk from here. There is also flag hoisting point in which on August 15 1957 Indian flag is hoisted.

Was an amazing piece of architecture which really portraits our ancient civilization and their superior construction methods. The sight from up there are such a treat to watch. Must visit if youre visiting Bijapur for sure.

We can see whole city

A must visit place. One can get a panoramic view of Vijayapura city.According to the guide the two canons were assembled on the top ( observe the ring joints)

I love it wonderful

So beautiful please

Upli Burz is one of the historical old watch tower monument situated nearby Malik-e-Maidan Cannon at a distance of around 260 metres.Usually Tourist who visit Malik-e-Maidan monument also visit Upli buruz.This ancient monument has circular shaped base of basalt stone masonry.The unusual thing is the stone slabs of approximately 3 feet to 5 feet long and 2- 3 feet width and thickness may be around 9 to 12 inch weighing several tons were erected and positioned at around 80 feet height high, the staircase of heavy stone with rise and tread are 3- 4 feet width and approximately 1 feet height are constructed around the circular wall of burz.The idea which is used for construction is simply marvellous.The height of the tower is around 80 feet high in including its parapet wall.Approximately there are about 80 steps to reach the height at upper base where two iron heavy cannons were installed to a provide cover for Malik-e-Maidan cannon during the war and also to keep a watch beyond the fort.The fort section is around 300 m far from the upli buruz.It is very near to Malik-e-Maidan cannon monument.ine can see beautiful Ariel view of Bijapur city from the tower and other few monuments.

This small security tower in the middle of the historical town is simple with two huge cannons placed on top of it which can be seen after climbing few steps.

Nice view with excellent history 😍

Tall tower to climb but great 360° views from the top and some of the longest canons Ive ever seen.

Nice place

Historical place but not maintained properly...

Upli buraz is one of Historical Monument in the Vijayapura city. The Guns (Topu) are placed on the burj. those are used in war . This monument built mainly to safeguard the bijapur kingdom. from enemies. Climbing the burj Spherical step is very much fun and lot of energy required. like gol-gumbaz.. we can see total bijapur city from the top of the burj. The location of burj is now central parts of the Vijayapura city. anybody can visit easily.

Not like that here except Burj and topu nothing other seeing thing there so some people wont show interest especially aged people.

Medical watch tower...... could be maintained more better but they failed to do so

Great monument,

Very very nice😊😊👏👏

I happened to visit Vijaypur recently. Town is full of monuments but not maintained well. Water scarcity is much. Roads also not good.In South Indian villages cow dung mixed with dry grass pasted on walls, later being used to burn in household. This material is called Uppily. This Hyder Burj walls were used for Uppily. Later Hyder Burj name changed to Uppily Burj. Burj in Arabic word means Tower. It is a watch tower.Visiting this town in winter is pleasant. In third week of February also very hot.

Its a good place to spend time

Great historic site to visit

Nice place

A must see place when visiting Vijayapura/Bijapur. The canons on the top are huge. I had never see ones these big. Legend says one was for Mughals coming from North and other for Marathas coming from West. One wonders how they managed to move these up there, when the bigger one is said to weigh 32 tonnes. According to legends the canons were welded at the top, made from smaller rings, which is evident from the surface of the canons.

Super

Good to be up there

Good

Nice place

Monument of the Adilshahi age but nothing much to do there. Gives a great view of the city. Not a great place to hangout with loved ones.

Its all about history and architecture.Thing is if your interested to see a connon on top of the structure.Its a sure thing to visit.

There are lots of stony stairs to climb. Once you reach up there, youll find two cannons on the top which were used in the past hundreds of years ago. You will get an amazing view of VIJAYAPURA from the top.No parking space. Youll have to park road side.

An architectural marvel its actual name is Hyder Burj also known as upari buruz meaning high observation tower it has two massive cannons cast in panch loha or an alloy of five metals an excellent work of metal smithery delight to archeological enthusiasts.

Historic place. In old days it was used as eye watching place for enemies activity. You can see part of city from here. It is in center of the city . But not promising maintenance by the government as well as toorisam department. Should improve. It is still an attractive place in BIJAPUR.

A historical place with 2 old cannons from the time of adil shahi people, maintained well, 70 steps up top. A good view of the city from the top. Over all a place to visit and not miss.

Hire a tangawala,give him 100₹ per person.and roam around the city...go in winters...that will be much better.
