Ranikot Fort
Jamshoro, Sindh

Ranikot Fort is a 19th Century fort in the Kirthar Hills of Jamshoro District, Sindh, often called the 'Great Wall of Sindh.' Its outer wall runs for roughly 32 kilometers, making it one of the largest forts in the world. Who built it first and why has never been settled, which is part of its lasting fascination. It is inscribed on Pakistan's UNESCO World Heritage tentative list.
