After conservation work for over five years, Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) has safeguarded over 30 out of 70 monuments in Quli Qutb Shahi tombs located near Golconda fort.
After five years of being closed to the public for restoration, the tombs of the first five Qutb Shahi kings have been, once again, declared open to visitors.If you have visited the tombs before the restoration, you are in for a treat – the level of the ground has changed, and a whole layer of architectural treasures have been unearthed.
A wildly unbelievable transformation greets visitors who manage to get a sneak peek of the Qutb Shahi tombs complex near Golconda. On World Heritage Day celebrated on April 18, citizens can pay a sum as entry fee and see the change that is brought about, thanks to the five-year effort mounted by the Department of Archaeology and Museums and Aga Khan Trust for Culture
