Monuments in Andhra Pradesh
Surviving architectural monuments of
Andhra Pradesh are the souvenirs of her glorious past. Successive
dynasties from the Ikshvakus, Pallavas, Chalukyas, Kakatiyas,
Vijayanagaram Kings, Qutub Shahis, Mughals and the Asaf Jahis, have
contributed significantly to the State's rich cultural tapestry and have
left behind a heritage studded with spectacular monuments. Hyderabad

historical importance like Charminar, Golconda, Salarjung Museum, Mecca
Masjid, Qutub Shahi Tombs and Falaknuma Palace.
