Time to explore history of Andhra by visiting the historical places in Andhra Pradesh

Don’t restrict yourself with pre-conceived notions about the history of a place, it’s always interesting to explore things by your own. Although we would not be able to retrieve some hidden facts but it is always fun to keep looking for some. Have you ever noticed, when you meet a person, you start portraying an image of that person on the basis of his or her past which sometimes this image turned out to be just an illusion and sometime our best judgment. The more you know about someone’s past the more the picture (image) gets clear in your mind. Same kind of calculation we often do, before visiting to any of the historical places on the basis of the stories related to these places. Sometimes, we get mesmerised by these stories and decide to explore the place or ruins of that place or sometimes we just ignore them. So this time, I decided to visit historical places in Andhra Pradesh as some old-age notation related to Kohinoor was luring me to itself.

All that we know is Kohinoor was founded in India but a very few people know that it was founded in Golconda Fort situated in Andhra Pradesh. So just to satisfy my urge to explore almost all the significant historical places in Andhra Pradesh, I started my journey from Golconda Fort. After this fort, I visited some other equally interesting historical places situated in Andhra Pradesh such as Char Minar - considered as the Taj Mahal of Hyderabad, Golconda Fort - Kohinoor was founded in this fort, history of Hyderabad begins with the establishment of Qutib Shahi dynasty, so how could I forget to visit the renowned Qutb Shahi Tombs.


Just to explore some other historical facts about Andhra Pradesh, I visited various museums and monuments of Andhra Pradesh such as Kondapalli Fort, Purani Haveli built by the first Nizam of Hyderabad, Nizam's Museum, Salar Jung Museum, Victoria Museum and Amaravati Museum among others.


Plan your next trip to explore new dimensions of various monuments and historical places in Andhra Pradesh!!
