Hyderabad

Among the cities of Telangana, Hyderabad stands out for its Qutb Shahi and Nizam-era heritage, concentrated in historic quarters near the Musi River. Founded in 1591 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, it later became the seat of the Nizams. Charminar, built in 1591, remains the city’s defining monument, with four minarets rising above the old core. North of the centre, the artificial Hussain Sagar lake links Hyderabad with Secunderabad, while Golconda Fort recalls the earlier Qutb Shahi capital. Hyderabad is also known for Hyderabadi biryani, a cuisine shaped by Deccani and Mughal influences. Find related webcams around Hyderabad and Telangana to build a fuller picture of this Deccan city.
