About Hyderabad
If you are visiting Hyderabad on business, it is easy to miss the 400-year-old Hyderabad. The city that immediately hits the eye is a sprawling metropolis of shopping malls and office buildings with glass facades. The magnificent "old city" that was once the seat of the Nizam, the ruler of the largest and the most opulent "princely state", and the twin city of Secunderabad where the British maintained a cantonment to keep the army within striking distance of the Nizam can be seen only if you take the time out to see them. Hyderabad's many epithets include theCity of Pearls, theCity of Nawabs, theBiryani Cityand, because of its high-tech industries,Cyberabad. In the 10th century, the kings of the Kakatiya dynasty built the fortress ofGolcondaabout 10 km to the west of what is now old city.
