Gunfoundry, Military building in Hyderabad, India
The Gunfoundry stands 15 meters tall with brick walls connected by iron rods and features semi-circular arches at its lower sections for smelting operations.
French general Michel Raymond established this cannon manufacturing facility in 1786 under the service of Nawab Mir Nizam Ali Khan of Hyderabad State.
The structure represents the industrial capabilities of 18th century Hyderabad through its Mughal Cannon Architecture and traditional construction techniques.
Located opposite Aliya High School for Boys near Fateh Maidan, visitors can access the site through multiple bus routes from Nampally and Lakdikapul stations.
The square bricks used in construction are thinner than standard sizes and held together with lime mortar, creating a distinctive architectural pattern.
