The Golconda Fort was a mud fortress and its origins can be traced to earlier reigns of Kakatiyas and Yadavas.
The world famous diamond “Koh-i-noor” was taken by Aurangzeb from Golconda Fort after his victory to Delhi (now part of the English Crown Jewels in London). The Golconda Fort’s vaults once held other large diamonds like, Hope Diamond (now at Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C., USA), Regent Diamond (Louvre, Paris, France), Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond (once part of Austrian and Bavarian Crown Jewels) Princie Diamond, Noor-ol-Aim and the largest of them all Dariya-ye-Noor (Treasury of National Jewels, Tehran, Iran ).
