Asman Garh Palace

Asman Garh Palace is a Gothic-style heritage palace built in 1885 by Sir Asman Jah, a Paigah noble and former Prime Minister of Hyderabad State. Located on a hillock near Malakpet TV Tower, the palace features granite turrets and arched windows resembling a European medieval castle. It previously housed an archaeological museum but is now occupied by St. Joseph's Public School.

The palace is currently occupied by St. Joseph's Public School and is not open to the general public for tourism. Large parts of the heritage structure were demolished in 2021. Visitors can view the exterior Gothic architecture including granite turrets and castellated battlements from outside the premises.

The structure was declared a heritage site by INTACH.
