Nauraspur

Nauraspur was a city in what is today Karnataka, India. It was founded in July 1599 by Ibrahim Adil Shah II, the sultan of the Bijapur Sultanate.[1] It was destroyed in 1624 by Burhan Nizam Shah III, then sultan of the Ahmednagar Sultanate, which were the Adil Shahis' greatest rival and also a member of the Deccan Sultanates.[2]

It was located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Bijapur, the capital of the Sultanate,[3]: 42  and was intended to be a hub of learning and culture, but was never fully completed when it was destroyed in 1624.[4][2][3]: 14
