Golconda Fort, Hyderabad
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 Kakatiyas period Golconda was originally
a mud fort, which passed to the Bahmani dynasty and later to the Qutb Shahis,
who held it from 1518 to 1687 A.D. The first three Qutb Shahi kings rebuilt
Golconda, over a span of 62 years.
The fort is famous for its acoustics, palaces, factories, ingenious water supply
system and the famous Fateh Rahben gun, one of the cannons used in the last
siege of Golconda by Aurangzeb, to whom the fort ultimately fell.
