About About the place

The British Residency in Hyderabad, now integrated into Koti Women's College, is a significant architectural landmark dating back to the early 19th century. Built in the Palladian style by James Achilles Kirkpatrick, it served as the residence of the British representative to the Nizam. The building's story is famously recounted in William Dalrymple's 'White Mughals,' which spurred its ongoing restoration. While currently under renovation, the Residency offers a glimpse into the past and the complex relationship between the British East India Company and the local rulers. Access often requires a guide or tour, and the site's condition is described as 'tatty' but still impressive.

The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
