Published in China - Social interactions and entertainment - 1 - 18 Sep 22 00:02

Golconda Fort (Telugu Gollakonda: shepherds hill), is a fortified citadel built by the Qutb Shahi dynasty (c. 1321–1687) as the capital of the Golconda Sultanate, located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Because of the vicinity of diamond mines, especially Kollur Mine, Golconda flourished as a trade centre of large diamonds, known as the Golconda Diamonds. The region has produced some of the worlds most famous diamonds, including the colourless Koh-i-Noor (now owned by the United Kingdom), the blue Hope (United States), the pink Daria-i-Noor (Iran), the white Regent (France), the Dresden Green (Germany), and the colourless Orlov (Russia), Nizam and Jacob (India), as well as the now lost diamonds Florentine Yellow, Akbar Shah and Great Mogul.
The complex was put by UNESCO on its tentative list to become a World Heritage Site in 2014.
