Frere Hall, built in 1865 in Karachi, is a striking example of British colonial architecture in Sindh. Crafted from yellow Gizri stone, it features Venetian-Gothic design and intricate frescoes by Sadequain. Once a town hall, it now serves as a cultural hub surrounded by peaceful gardens in the city’s heart.
