Golconda Fort was first built by the Kakatiya dynasty as part of their western defenses along the lines of the Kondapalli Fort. The city and fortress are built on a granite hill that is 120 meters high and is surrounded by massive battlements. The fort was rebuilt and strengthened by Pratapa Rudra of the Kakatiyas.
HolidayIQ traveller Mani Rathnam from Chennai shares, “Golconda is one of the historical place to be visited in Hyderabad. Republic Day and Independence Day celebrations are held at Golconda. Night time is the best time of visiting Golconda. Total Hyderabad city can be seen from the top of the fort.”
According to the legend, once a shepherd boy was walking along the hill (which later came to be known as Shepherd's hill) when we discovered an idol of god. When the news of the idol came to the ruler of Kakatiya dynasty, he decided to built a fortress on the hill.
