Chowmahalla Palace – Seat of the Nizams

Situated in the heart of the Old City of Hyderabad, the Chowmahalla Palace was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty, who ruled from 1724 CE to 1948 CE. Called the Nizams, the Asaf Jahi rulers were fabulously wealthy, and this is reflected in the gandeur of the Chowmahalla Palace.
