Multan is a city in south central Punjab
province. It is built just east of the Chenab River.
About 966 km from Karachi and more or less
right in the center of the country lie the ancient city of Multan. Multan,
the 'City of Pirs
and Shrines' is a prosperous city of bazaars, mosques, shrines and superbly
designed tombs. A circular road around the rampart gave access to the city
through thirteen gates. Some of the imposing structures of these gates are
still preserved. In the bazaars of the Old City
one still comes across tiny shops where craftsmen can be seen busy turning
out master-pieces in copper, brass, silver as well as textiles in the
traditional fashion.
