Charminar


This is the view looking south from Charminar.  It's a strange structure: an elevated mosque, on arches that could be city gates, sited at the very heart of the old city of Hyderabad.  It was built by the Qutb Shahi dynasty, predating the Nizams.

In each of the cardinal directions, busy arterials lined with all kinds of markets extend to the horizon.
