Qutb Shahi Tombs

The Mosque on the western side on the roof of Charminar is one of the finest mosques built by the Qutb Shahi artisans. A cluster of magnificent tombs erected in memory of the departed kings of Golconda, stand mutely twelve kilometers from Hyderabad. These tombs are situated a kilometer north of Golconda Fort's Banjara Darwaza.

The imposing marvels of architectural excellence have stood the test of time and vagaries of nature. They stand as silent reminders of the grandeur and glory of the Golconda Kings. The tombs form a large, close group built on a raised platform. Perhaps no where in the world will we find so many tombs as monuments in one place as here.
