Itinerary

Charminar

15 min

This is an imposing monument that reflects the glory of the Qutub Shahi Dynasty. It is a massive square structure of 56m (183.72ft) high and 30m (98.42ft) wide. This monument is built entirely of granite and lime mortar. It has total four minarets and one on each corner. These fluted minarets are attached to the main building and rise towards the sky to a height of 56m (183.72 ft) with a double balcony each. This great tribute to aesthetics looks sturdy and solid from a distance but, as you move closer, it emerges as an elegant and romantic edifice proclaiming its architectural eminence in all its detail and dignity.
