The main residence of Nizam VI Mahbub Ali Pasha, Purana Haveli is a neo classical architectural delight that has a sprawling complex and landscaped gardens. It was built in the mid 19th century and the opulence of Nizam’s lifestyle can be seen from the ornate style of Massarat Mahal. Other attractions include the Nizam’s wooden wardrobe which is a 73 sq. mt room with a mechanical elevator to reach out to the top levels. Purana Haveli also houses the Nizam’s museum that is full of artifacts and antiques belonging to the royal family.
