Bloody Bastion, Military bastion from colonial era in Multan, Pakistan
Bloody Bastion is a colonial-era fortification located on Alang Road between Pak Gate and Delhi Gate in Multan. The structure features defensive walls built with stone and brick, showcasing the military architecture typical of that period.
The fortification received its name in 1849 during the Siege of Multan when British forces fought against Sikh defenders. This event marked a decisive moment in the region's military history.
The bastion holds significance in regional military architecture, representing the defensive structures employed during the British colonial period in South Asia.
The site is accessible from the public road and allows visitors to view the defensive elements and strategic positioning. The surrounding area offers shade and is pedestrian-friendly.
The bastion temporarily held the graves of two British emissaries killed by Sikh rebels before their remains were moved to Multan Fort. This detail connects the site to a specific human tragedy from the conflict.
