History
The Qutb Shahi Tombs are the tombs of the seven Qutub Shahi rulers of Golconda. The tombs were built over a period of nearly 200 years, starting with the tomb of Sultan Quli Qutb ul Mulk, the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, in 1543. The last tomb to be built was that of Abul Hasan Tana Shah in 1672. The tombs are a blend of Persian, Pathan and Hindu architectural styles. The tombs are made of grey granite and are adorned with intricate carvings. The domes are capped by a pinnacle which is covered with green and blue tiles. The tombs are surrounded by gardens and fountains. After the conquest of Golconda by Aurangzeb in 1687, the tombs were neglected for nearly two centuries. In the early 19th century, the tombs were restored by the Nizams of Hyderabad. The tombs are now a protected monument and are maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.

I felt as if I have come away from Hyderabad. The place is vast and filled with greenery. The place has undergone renovations. They even have water harvesting. But due to pigeons it has become untidy. I parked my bike which cost ₹10. For entry ₹20 and mobile phone ₹20. Action camera is not allowed.
