city, the Charminar is a fair gift of spirituality and peace. The
Mecca Masjid is just 150 m southwest of Charminar. This is referred
as the most important mosque of the state. It is known that the
bricks of this masjid were brought from Mecca and thus named after
that. The later nizams are buried here. Visitors are only permitted
