Also known as Round Shaped hill or Shepherds' Hill, the Golconda Fort is a citadel and fort that once served as the capital of the medieval sultanate of the Qutb Shahi dynasty. The Fort used to have a vault that once stored the Koh-i-Noor and Hope Diamonds, along with other precious diamonds. The Golconda Fort along with the Qutb Shahi dynasty Monuments of Hyderabad (the Charminar and the Qutb Shahi Tombs) is on UNESCO’s Tentative World Heritage Site List.

The Qutub Shahi tombs contain the tombs and mosques built by various rulers of the Qutub Shahi dynasty; it is also the resting place of the Golconda Emperors.
