Charminar The famous monument in the heart of the city of Hyderabad built by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the fifth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty of Golconda and the founder of the city. This imposing structure derives its name from the four minars, each rising to a height of 56 metres. It was constructed between 1591 and 1593. It is believed that it was intended to commemorate the cessation of an epidemic of plague. The architectural beauty of the edifice Lies in its plan 30 metres square with imposing arches each of a span of II metres surmounted by terraced balconies in receding series. The profuseness of stucco decoration and the design and the arrangement of the balustrade on the balconies are remarkable.
