City Wall of Multan

City Wall of Multan

City Wall of Multan or Faseel e Multan (Urdu: فصیل ملتان) is ancient wall all around the old city of Multan. It was built and rebuilt many times as it was destroyed in battles. Original construction time is unknown but it was present during the Siege of Multan and damaged badly. Part of this wall near Haram Gate was totally destroyed and was used by British troops to enter into the city of Multan. The present wall was constructed in 1756 AD.
