The City College is an imposing structure form the outside and they say it looks even better from the inside. This being an early hour there was no access to get in and all pics were from the outside.

City College is one of the older colleges in Hyderabad and I know that there is a team in the HCA that is called CCOB (City College Old Boys) and they play pretty competitive cricket. Across the road from City College lies the Quli Qutb stadium. The College is one of the oldest heritage buildings.

| Lovely structure |
As with all things around the Musi Riverfront, the City College was constructed by the 7th Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan. The institution itself began as City School or Madarsa Dar Ul-Uloom by the 6th Nizam Mahboob Ali Khan in 1865. The institution was renamed City High School by the 7th Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan. Urdu was the medium of instruction. The new building was designed by the British architect Vincent Jerome Esch as part of the City Improvement Board's plans. The High School added Intermediate and moved into the new premises in 1921. In 1929 it became a college.
Notable alumni are politicians Shivraj Patil, P Shiv Shankar, Marri Channa Reddy and film writer Paruchuri Gopala Krishna. It has cricket grounds and a football stadium and looks big enough to host a lot of stuff.
