Saifabad Palace, Government palace in Hyderabad, India
The Saifabad Palace displayed European architectural elements with semi-circular arches, Corinthian columns, and a wooden staircase in the central administrative district of Hyderabad.
Built in 1888 by Nizam VI Mir Mahbub Ali Khan, the palace served as an administrative center for Hyderabad state until its demolition in 2020.
The structure represented the transition period of Indian governance, from Nizam rule through various administrative changes in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana states.
The palace functioned as government offices from 1910, housing chief ministers and administrative departments within the Mint Compound of Telangana Secretariat.
A Monitor lizard sighting at the palace created such concern that the Nizam never resided in the building, leading to its conversion into government offices.
