Hyderabad's primary milestone and city image was worked by Mohammed Quli Qutb Shah in 1591 to remember the establishing of Hyderabad and the finish of plagues brought about by Golconda's water lack. The enormous four-section, 56m-high structure has four curves confronting the cardinal focuses, with minarets on every segment (consequently the name Charminar, 'four minarets').

Climb the 149 stages to the highest floor. Toward one side of the open rooftop is a mosque, which has 45 additional petition spaces to suit the groups that seek mass supplication on Fridays. From the highest floor you can appreciate the quiet feel and all encompassing perspectives on the clamoring city beneath.

Gigantic curves bolster the landmark on the ground level. Companion through to a pond on one side and markets on the other.
