Hyderabad
The Charminar in the old city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
The Mughal Empire conquered the region of Hyderabad in 1687, when the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb annexed the Qutb ShÄhÄ« dynasty kingdom of Golconda.123
While the city of Hyderabad was founded in 1590ā91 by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, it remained under the control of the Qutb ShÄhÄ« rulers until the Mughal conquest of their kingdom in the late 17th century. Following the eventual decline of the Mughal Empire, the state of Hyderabad was later re-established as a virtually independent entity in 1724 by Nizam al-Mulk, who had previously served as a viceroy for the Mughal emperors.1345
