The Golconda fort is listed as an archaeological treasure on the official "List of Monuments" prepared by the Archaeo-logical Survey of In-dia under The Ancient Monuments and Archaeo-logical Sites and Remains Act. Golconda actually consists of four distinct forts with a 10 km long outer wall with 87 semicircular bastions (some still mounted with cannons), eight gateways, and four draw bridges, with a number of royal apartments and halls, temples, mosques, magazines, stables, etc. inside. An acoustic effect can be experienced at Fateh Darwazaan, characteristic of the engineering marvels at Golconda. A hand clap at a certain point below the dome at the entrance reverberates and can be heard clearly at the 'Bala Hisar' pavilion, the highest point almost a kilometer away. This worked as a warning note to the Royals in case of an attack
