Golconda Fort


Hyderabad is famous for its monuments. Golconda is situated in the western outskirts of Hyderabad. The outer fort consists of around 3 square km area and is around 4.8 km in length. The fort contains ruins of palaces, mosques and a hill top pavilion. The architecture of Golconda is famous for its advanced acoustics where a hand clap from the entry of the fort can be heard at the top without any use of electric gadgets almost a kilometer away. Once Golconda was famous for its Diamond Market.

There is sound and light show in the evening which is very popular among the visitors.
