Echoes Of History - Golconda Fort, Hyd

[ShifaAymal]

Golconda Fort, located in Hyderabad, India, is a historic marvel known for its rich past and impressive architecture. Built in the 13th century by the Kakatiya dynasty.

The fort is made up of massive walls, grand gates, palaces, temples, mosques, and the beautiful Fateh Darwaza, with intricate carvings and craftsmanship that reflect the Indo-Islamic architecture of the time.

Today, Golconda Fort is a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors stunning views of Hyderabad, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and travelers.

Interesting fact :

The fort was renowned for its strategic defense system and its acoustics; a clap at the entrance can be heard at the highest point of the fort, over a kilometer away.

( I tried this and was awestruck !! )

Ist dieses Fort noch intakt, weil auf den Bildern vom beschriebenen Schnitzereien usw. Nichts zu sehen ist.

It’s amazing to see such a well-preserved piece of history @ShifaAymal

By the way, is it true that there’s a 250 kg concrete block outside of the fort which was used to test a person’s strength? I’ve seen in some reels
