Golkonda Fort in Hyderabad

Golkonda, a ruined city of south India and capital of ancient Kingdom of Golkonda (1518–1687), is situated in west of Hyderabad. The most important builder of Golkonda was Ibrahim Quli Qutub Shah Wali, the fourth Qutub king of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty. 
They laid out Golkonda's splendid monuments. They ruled over most of present day Andhra Pradesh before the British Raj. After transferring Northern Circars to British, they ruled the Telangana region and some parts of present day Karnataka and Maharashtra.

Myself and one of my friend recently visited the Golkonda Fort. It was amazing to see the ruined monuments, Darbars, Halls where kings use to rule over the years.

  1. Great Captured! Golconda fort is a majestic monument, which lies on the western outskirts of Hyderabad city. It speaks of a great cultural heritage of 400 years and is regarded as a place worth visiting. Tourist across the seas comes here to visit the amazing location and for many travelers who prefer to stay at hotels in Hyderabad.
