Aziz Bagh, 19th century mansion in Noorkhan Bazar, Hyderabad, India.
Aziz Bagh is a mansion from the 1800s with a south-facing porch supported by Ionic columns. The interior features polished marble floors and displays Gothic Revival elements throughout its design.
The building was constructed in 1899 by a Persian and Urdu scholar who gave the place its name. It was built as a home for educated people and officials during the era of the Hyderabad realm.
The residence takes its name from its original owner and displays decorations that reflect the culture of that era. Visitors can see how wealthy families lived at that time and what objects mattered to them.
The site is difficult to access and is treated today as a protected historical structure. Visitors should check beforehand as entry may be possible at certain times.
A room in the house was designed so that female members of the royal family could watch horse races without being visible from outside. Special windows with gold-threaded curtains provided this private viewing spot.
