Hyderabad, Sindh

Pakka Qila, located in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan, is a historic fort built in 1768 by Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro. Constructed with baked bricks, it served as a strong defensive structure and later housed administrative offices during the Talpur and British periods. The fort remains a prominent landmark of Hyderabad’s heritage.
