Hyderabad 34 - Qutb Shahi tombs

The Qutub Shahi Tombs are the tombs and mosques built by the various kings of the Qutub Shahi dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus which overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were originally overlaid with blue and green tiles, of which only a few pieces now remain.
