The Great Hyderabad The Nizams of Hyderabad who ruled from Golconda Fort have endowed Hyderabad with many landmark buildings, including the Charminar, the Salarjung Museum, the Falaknuma Palace and the Qutab Shahi Tombs. A city that has modernized tremendously in the last decade Hyderabad's rich legacy of the Nizams, makes it one of the most fascinating historical places in India. Hyderabad gets "The Best City in India" award. The Charminar The symmetrical edifice was built by Muhammed Quli Qutab Shah in 1591 to commemorate the cessation of plague in the city, has now become the landmark of the town of Hyderabad. The four minarets carved with lotus buds and petals and the central structure, soaring to a height of 180 feet makes it an architectural jewel of Hyderabad. The Golconda Fort Golconda is one of the famous Forts in South India. The origins of the Fort can be traced to the Yadava dynasty of Deogiri, and the Kakatiyas of Warangal. The first three Qutb Shahi kings rebuilt Golconda, over a span of 62 years. The fort is famous for its acoustics, palaces, factories and ingenious water supply system. The fort was also famous for diamond trade and the Kohinoor diamond is said to have come from here. The Qutub Shahi Tombs Situated at a distance of one Km from Golconda Fort, these tombs and monuments of the Qutb Shahi Kings are proof of unique architectural excellence, which is a blend of Persian, Pathan and Hindu forms. Salarjung Museum Salarjung Museum the single largest one- man collections of the world. If this one-man had not chosen to remain a bachelor the world would have been bereft of one of the greatest collection of antiques. We are talking about art objects collected by Yusuf Ali Salar Jung, the prime minister to the Nizam. Though Salar Jung III is credited with this fantastic collections, it all started with his father and grandfather.
