The capital of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad is the seventh largest city of India. It is characterized by grandiosity and effulgence of its 400-year-old Moslem rule, but today is a modern city and a member of the twin cities, Hyderabad and Secunderabad. It was established in 1590 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah. |
| The city is well known for its monuments and mosque out of the medieval and the Saracenic culture and the Mughal- and colonial architecture. A well-known sight is the 16th-century, 163-foot-tall grand rectangular Charminar monument with its four minarets. This monument builds the center of the old town of Hyderabad as well as the Golkunda fort that was established in the 13th century by the Kakatiyas. The Charminar was built by the city founder, king Quli Qutb Shah, in 1591. The Char Minar was constructed in the memory after ending of the Plague epidemic. The Char Minar is four floors high, having a mosque at the uppermost floor. |
