Had a great experience here,the place was very well maintained they followed all the covid 19 norms. The tickets were also booked online. The museum is also good but not to forget should book separate ticket to visit. T echo for which the place is famous for is phenomenal, overall a good place to visit and is very near to the highway.

A must visit place to experience the epicness and pure creativity of the ancient architects in very grand and astonishing manner.

The astounding sound technology used by architects of that time to make sound travel form one end to another by natural means is quite amazing.

Only con we have here is that you have to climb 7 floor giant rock stairs to reach on top but it's worth it. Absolutely loved my visit here.

Such an architectural marvel. The structure is very huge and the lawns around are very maintained. It us ASI protected monument.
To appreciate the acoustics inside, it is advisable to visit early morning. The lawns and structure is open to public at 6 am. The museum inside opens at 9 am.
Even a soft whisper is audible across under the dome on the 7th floor. Once crowds increase, the noise level increases.
There are 108 steep steps to reach the top.

Gol Gumbaz is the mausoleum (tomb) of the king Mohammed Adil Shah, Adil Shahi Dynasty. Construction of the tomb, located in Bijapur , Karnataka, India, was started in 1626 and was completed in 1656. The name is based on "Gol Gumbadh" derived from "Gola Gummata" meaning "circular dome". It follows the style of culture and [Indo-Islamic architecture] . Even a slight whisper by someone standing in its gallery can be heard everywhere else in the gallery, and if somebody claps, the sound of it echoes several times.
