THE MIRROR OF THE SKY Translated as the ‘Mirror of the Sky,’ the Taj Falaknuma Palace mirrors not only the changing moods of the sky as it stands 2,000 feet above the city, but also the history of the Nizams. The opulent scorpion-shaped palace was originally designed in 1894 by British architect William Mard Marret for then Prime Minister Vicar-Ul-Umra. The palace took 10 years to build at a cost of four million rupees.
