Hyderabad History during Qutb Shahi rule

Qutb Shahi Kings - Rulers of the Deccan
1518 - 1687


The Qutb Shahi Kings were rulers between 1518 and 1687. As the monuments of their time reveal, they were great builders, lovers of architecture and patrons of learning. The greatest and the most popular edifice of the time is the Charminar.
