The ‘Musi River Historic Buildings’ in Hyderabad have been put on the 2025 World Monuments Watch.
Gujarat’s ‘Bhuj Historic Water Systems’ is the other site in India named by the WMF on its list of 25-sites facing risk due to the water crisis and climate change.
Landmarks like the High Court, State Central Library, Osmania General Hospital, City College, and the former British Residency, now a women’s university, highlight the Musi River’s civic legacy.
The 2025 World Monuments Watch spotlights the Musi River Historic Buildings at a key moment in the city’s history.
Launched in 1996 by World Monuments Fund, the World Monuments Watch is announced every two years and includes sites nominated by individuals and community-based organizations that span the globe.
The World Monuments Fund is a New York-based organisation.
The biennial nomination based advocacy programme of the New York-based organisation spotlights building and sites facing tourism, conflict, climate change and natural disasters.
