Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption is a minor basilica located in Secunderabad, India. The decree designating it as a basilica was issued on 7 November 2008. The church is located on Sarojini Naidu Road in Secunderabad. It owes its early history to Father Daniel Murphy along with Bishop Carew. St. Mary's Church was completed in 1850. This church was formerly called the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Hyderabad. In 1886, it ceased to be a cathedral. In 1871, a few nuns from St. Anne at Turin came here and opened a school that is popular as St. Ann's school.

Jama Masjid
A congregation mosque that was built in 1560 by Ibrahim Quli Qutb Shah of Golconda. The mosque has five lofty arches and two minarets at the corners, similar to Hayat Bakshi Mosque. After the fall of Golconda, the mosque went into disuse till the area became a jagir of Nawab Arastu Jah, the Prime Minister during the reign of Nizam Ali Khan. Although the mosque was repaired in 1951, it is now dilapidated. A new four-storey mosque is later built to accommodate the namazis.
