At 3,930 ft (1,200 m) elevation, Madhugiri is a single hill. Nestled on its steep slopes is a fort. Antaralada Bagilu, Diddi Bagilu, and Mysuru Gate are the three gateways of the fort. A series of doorways leads to the hill. The ruined temple of Gopalakrishna is located at the top.

The construction of the original mud fort was undertaken by Raja Hire Gowda in the 17th century around 1670 AD. An interesting incident prompted the Gowda family to consider building a fortress. A stray sheep went missing around the Madhugiri hillock only to return late in the night dripping with water. This was music to the ears since a spring would definitely be welcome sign for rain deficient area. A decision to construct a fortress was arrived and the task was completed. The Gowdas started ruling this region based at Madhugiri Fort.

Madhugiri, once known as Maddagiri over a hundred years ago, is located around 43 km north of Tumkuru town, and 100 km north-west of Bengaluru city. The monolith and the surrounding greenery of Madhugiri are the main attractions. The place has the old temples of Venkataramanaswami and Malleshwara built by the Vijayanagara feudatories in the Dravidian style.
