Golconda Fort - Historical Monument of Hyderabad, INDIA

Golconda Fort Hyderabad: I highly recommend you to visit Golconda fort in Hyderabad. Some historians claim that Golconda Fort is about 2000 years old. Golconda kings spent millions of rupees upon the fort for the command of the Deccan. Golconda fort is on an isolated granite hill and rises in splendour about 400 feet above surrounding plain. The walls and bastions were built of large blocks of masonry, some of them weighing several tons. There are eight darwazas or gates in the outer wall. The gates were studded with iron spikes and various other devices which were intended to prevent elephants from charging at them. Within the walls of the fort, scattered in all directions, are a number of old buildings, mosques and places of historical and architectural interest.
