Bella Vista

Bella Vista is an architectural structure in Hyderabad featuring a dual-level design with Indo-European influences, white exterior walls, and arched windows framing the main entrance. The building displays a blend of colonial and traditional Indian design elements throughout its layout and facade.

The building was constructed in 1910 during the Nizam period as an example of colonial architecture merged with traditional Indian design. Its creation coincided with a time when European and local architectural styles were coming together in Hyderabad.

The structure serves as the Administrative Staff College of India, where civil servants and corporate leaders come to study and develop their skills. It functions as a significant learning hub for professionals working in governance and business.

The location is reachable by metro via Lakdikapul station, followed by a short walk through the Saifabad neighborhood. Visitors should note that the area is most active during business hours and it is better to explore the place during daytime.

The structure features symmetrical domes at each corner that define its exterior and set it apart from other buildings. Inside, a central courtyard displays geometric patterns on its floor tiles that were carefully designed.
