Pacco Qillo, Military fort in Hyderabad, Pakistan
The fort stands on Gunjy hillock, featuring thick stone walls and multiple entry points that reveal military architecture from the 18th century.
Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro constructed Pacco Qillo in 1768, establishing it as a strategic defense point for the region of Sindh.
The fort includes remnants of mosques and residential quarters that demonstrate the architectural traditions of the Talpur dynasty in Sindh.
Visitors can reach the fort through the city center of Hyderabad, though the structure requires careful navigation due to its deteriorating condition.
The fort witnessed a significant transformation when Mir Fateh Ali Khan relocated the capital from Khudabad to Hyderabad in 1789.
