The Qutb Shahi kings of Golconda were great architects and patrons of art. So it’s natural that the art and architecture are conspicuous for their features and an impressive legacy of their rule. They reflect the combined cultural achievement of the kings, nobles, architects, artists, calligraphers, craftsmen and many other skilled workers.
According to Michel and Zebrowski, “Deccan architecture is the stuff of dreams” and the monuments include forts, mosques, palaces, tombs, sarais, hospitals, gardens, etc.

Impressive Forts
Golconda fort was built in 1578 by Sultan Quli Qutb-ul-mulk. The fort rises some 400 feet above the plains and its granite wall is over seven km in circumference.

Meanwhile, the forts at Bhongir, Devarakonda, Penukonda and Kogalkonda, etc. were rebuilt by the Qutb Shahi kings.
