Golconda was the capital of Qutub Shahi Kingdom , constructed on top of a granite hill. Golconda was well guarded from enemies by a 10 km long walk constructed around the fort. At Fateh Darwaza meaning Victory Gate fantastic acoustic effects can be observed, this was the same gate throught which the victorious army used to return to the palace.

Also worth seeing are hundreds of stairs build completely out of granite.Golconda Fort is believed that there is a secret underground tunnel which leads from the 'Durbar Hall' and ends in one of the palaces at the foot of the hill.
