Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park
A concentration of largely unexcavated archaeological,
historic and living cultural heritage properties cradled in an
impressive landscape which includes prehistoric (chalcolithic) sites, a
hill fortress of an early Hindu capital, and remains of the 16th-century
capital of the state of Gujarat. The site also includes, among other
vestiges, fortifications, palaces, religious buildings, residential
precincts, agricultural structures and water installations, from the 8th
to 14th centuries. The Kalikamata Temple on top of Pavagadh Hill is
considered to be an important shrine, attracting large numbers of
pilgrims throughout the year. The site is the only complete and
unchanged Islamic pre-Mughal city.
