The Buddhist stupa in the village is one of the centrally protected monuments of national importance. One of the earliest evidence of Brahmi script in South India comes from Bhattiprolu. The script was written on an urn containing Shakyamuni Buddha's relics. The script has been named Bhattiprolu script.
