The Andhra Pradesh government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Aga Khan Foundation to give a facelift to the much-neglected Qutb Shahi tombs at a cost of Rs 100-crore over the next 10 years.
The Quli Qutb Shah Archaeological Park comprising the Qutb Shahi Tombs Complex and Deccan Park, is one of the most significant historic medieval necropolises having 70 structures and encompassing 40 mausoleums, 23 mosques, five step-wells and water structures, a hamam (mortuary bath), pavilions, garden structures and enclosure walls built during the reign of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty that ruled the Hyderabad region for 170 years in the 16th–17th centuries.
