Golconda

Ruined city of Golconda, near present-day Hyderabad, India
This ancient city was home of the world's first, and for a long time only, diamond mine. It's the origin of many well-known diamonds like the Hope Diamond. Anyways, legend has it, all visitors to the city would be blessed with great wealth in their life. Sign me up.
