Golconda fort: Golconda is one of the famous

Golconda is one of the famous forts of India. The name originates from the Telugu words "Golla Konda" meaning "Shepherd's Hill". The origins of the fort can be traced back to the Yadava dynasty of Deogiri and the Kakatiyas of Warangal. The Golconda Fort is a majestic testament to history and architectural grandeur in the western region of Hyderabad , only 9 km from Hussain Sagar Lake. It dates back to 1143 when it was known as Mangal and has witnessed centuries of stories and reigns from Bahmani Sultans to Qutub Shahi rulers. Golconda Fort, a majestic structure located about 11 km from Hyderabad , is one of India’s most impressive forts. Once the capital of the medieval Golconda Sultanate, this grand fort is known for its brilliant architecture, acoustics system, and stunning panoramic views of Hyderabad. The King then decided to built a fort on the hill, which then came to be known as Golconda (Shepherd’s Hill) Fort . However, almost 200 years later, the fort came under Bahamani rulers. Later Qutub Shahi Kings took the fort under their control and extended it further.
