“Golconda Fort's history dates back to the early 13th century when it was initially ruled by the Qutub Shahi kings during the 16th and 17th centuries. The fortress is situated on a granite hill that stands 120 meters high, surrounded by impressive crenellated ramparts. The king first constructed a mud fort around this sacred site, which was later taken over by the Bahamani rulers after 200 years. The fort captivates visitors with its advanced architectural techniques and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. As an architectural marvel and a heritage structure, Golconda Fort serves as a testament to Hyderabad’s glorious past. It is located approximately 11 km from Hyderabad and is easily accessible by road.”
