Falaknuma Palace is in Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, a state of India. This palace was once a royal guest house of Nizams of Hyderabad. It was built by Nawab Vikarul Umra Bahadur, a noble from the Paigah family, who later became Prime Minister of Hyderabad (1894-1901). The main palace was designed by English architects in 1872 and its construction completed in 1884. Nizam VI, Nawab Mir Mahboob Ali Khan Bahadur purchased it in 1897 and later added other structures like the Coronation building. The sixth Nizam occasionally lived here and died in this building in 1911.
