A must visit area for history lovers and it's really a nice place u would love to see the heritage and there is amazing view of Hyderabad city from it. Only issue local guys carve their names on the monuments making it look real bad...sometimes, some places. Yeah the kind of crowd goes in generally is pathetic.

The word Paigah, which means pomp and rank in Persian, was a title given by the second Nizam of Hyderabad to Nawab Abul Fateh Taig Jung Bahadur, founder of the Paigah family. Fiercely loyal to the Nizams, the powerful Paigah nobility maintained their own private army and the local police and courts had no jurisdiction over them or their property. Their necropolis in Hyderabad has intricate stucco work, reminiscent of the World heritage sites of Alhambra palace in Granada and Alcazar palace in Seville, Spain The tombs are enclosed in carved screens and canopies of lime and mortar. The stucco reliefs closely resemble Byzantine art while the Moorish influences can be seen on arabesques details stucco reliefs and the domes. These tombs represent an eclectic mix of the Mughal, Persian, Moorish, Byzantine, Rajasthani and Deccani style of architecture which are unparalleled in India. Ornate trellises, beautifully carved pillars intricate lattice work and embellished domes surround the mini mausoleums. Some of the tombs are enclosed in Chaukhandis entered through ornate wooden doors made of mahogany, teak or rosewood. Entry is free and so is photography. Plan to spend at least two hours if you want to fully appreciate the architecture. Most tourists are not even aware of this gem and hence you may find yourself to be the only tourist here!

I went to Medak Fort. It is a huge structure located on the top of a hill. One has to climb more than 500 steps to reach the top of the fort, which occupies 100 acres on the hilly area. Medak Fort is noted for its architectural magnificence. It is great place to go.
