About Qutub Shahi Tombs

Quiet close from Golconda fort are the tombs of the seven Qutub Shahi rulers amidst the Ibrahim Bagh. The tombs are domed structures built on a square base surrounded by pointed arches. The galleries of the smaller tombs are of a single story while the larger ones are two storied. In the center of each tomb is a sarcophagus, which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces remain now. The tombs are surrounded with well laid out gardens. A tranquil sight. This is very near to Golconda Fort with walk able distance.
