Originally founded as a mud fort by the Kakatiya dynasty
of Warangal in the the 13th century, Golconda fort was rebuilt
into a massive structure under the reign of the Qutub Shahi
kings over a span of 62 years. Once famous for its diamond mines
the fort now lies partly in ruins.
Famous features of Golconda include its palaces, water supply
system and the famous Fateh Rahben Cannon. However the most
remarkable feature of the fort is its acoustic system whereby
a clapping of hands at the entry gate can be heard at the top
of the fort 19 m high. Another attraction at the Golconda fort
is the spectacular sound and light show which brings the legend
of Golconda to life through its breathtaking interplay of audio
and visual effects.
