The Aliabad Darwaza was one of the thirteen gates to the city wall of Hyderabad. It was adjoined by the Aliabad Sarai, a resthouse during the Qutb Shahi era for travellers to spend the night. The Sarai was built by Mughals in early 1700s [2] [3] [4]. The Department of Archaeology and Museums are the custodians of Aliabad Sarai whcih is listed as a grade I heritage structure but is poorly maintained and is in dilapidated state. There were around 60 rooms in the sarai and many of the rooms are already demolished and the remaining are occupied by various people running small workshops and other businesses. There was a proposal to demolish the entire sarai for widening the road. [5]
Aliabad is connected by buses run by TSRTC, since a bus depot is close by, it is well connected. Buses that run are 65 and 9.
