Geography & terrain

Medak lies in the Medak district of Telangana, 100 km from Hyderabad and 60 km from Siddipet — the cathedral town of the region, its Gothic church, the fort and the tanks set on the Deccan's quiet country.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 1924 cathedral building — the Medak Cathedral of the Wesleyan Mission and the diocese's Gothic masterpiece of the Italian arches and the rose windows, with the town's modern role as the heritage stop of the Hyderabad circuit and the home of the fort of the Qutb Shahi era; the town's history of the church's 2015 centenary and the town's trade, gives Medak its cathedral character.
