Golconda Fort, Medieval fort in Hyderabad, India
The fortress extends over 11 kilometers of ramparts and stands on a 120-meter granite hill at the western edge of Hyderabad.
The Kakatiya Dynasty constructed the initial mud fort in the 11th century before it developed into the capital of the Golconda Sultanate.
The fort includes numerous temples, mosques, and royal apartments that demonstrate the architectural fusion of Persian and Indian design elements.
The fort remains open throughout the week, with guided tours lasting 90 minutes and transportation available through buses 65G and 66G from Charminar.
The fort contains an advanced acoustic system where a clap at the entrance becomes audible at the summit through carefully designed architecture.
