Quetta Fort

The fortified structure stands on elevated ground with strategic watchtowers and defensive walls constructed from local stone and earth materials.

Built during the British Raj in the late 19th century, the fort served as a crucial military installation to protect the region from potential invasions.

The fort, known locally as Miri Qila, contains traditional architectural elements that reflect the military engineering methods of colonial British India.

Located at coordinates 30°12'37"N and 67°0'34"E, the fort remains an active military base with restricted access for security purposes.

The fort's position on high ground provides complete surveillance capabilities over the surrounding Quetta valley and adjacent territories.
