Hello, Local guides,
The last time I visited Golconda Fort it was located in Telangana state one of the historical forts all over India, it was built by the Kakatiyas in the 11th century. The Qutb Shahi kings then built the fort with a large granite building between the 16th and 17th centuries. Golconda was famous for its diamond mines, and it became a trading center for huge diamonds, including the renowned Koh-i-Noor and Hope.
The fort is a must-see for history buffs, admirers of architecture, and anybody curious about the rich cultural legacy of India. It is conveniently located near Hyderabad.
In the Evening time The fort features a spectacular light and sound performance that tells the story of Golconda and the dynasties who governed it. so many people come from different locations from all over the world. when we go to the top of the fort we can see the Hyderabad.

After the Qutb Shahi dynasty Mughal Empire was started With the decline of the Mughal Empire, the British East India Company gained control over various regions, including Hyderabad. Golconda became part of the princely state of Hyderabad under British suzerainty. After India's independence in 1947, Hyderabad State joined the Indian Union.
