The Ibrahim Rauza is the tomb of Ibrahim Adil Shah, Sultan of Bijapur in 16th century.
It has a mosque attached to it.
The mosque is pretty but the Rauza has exquisite calligraphy and inscriptions on its entire external walks.
Well worth a visit just for that. Though some of it us in a dilapidated condition as the calligraphy is in stucco and not stone
