Located in Sururnagar, the eastern part of Hyderabad, the remains of this Qutb Shahi fort- palace and mosque was also called the fort of Sultan Nagar, and still later as Qila-yi Kohna, or old fort. Construction began in 1620 by Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah, but left incomplete when the Sultan fell ill, and the project was abandoned by his successor Abdullah Qutb Shah. It cost 300,000 huns. With two conventional minarets, the prayer chamber of this mosque has seven double arches. The central arch is much larger than others, flanked by three arches on each side. A large courtyard shows remains of a cistern and a fountain.exterior, view of ruins of brick walls, 2006
