Situated in the Punjab Province of Pakistan is the city of Multan. Multan has long been a destination for pilgrims and religious travel because of its many shrines and is today becoming more and more popular with tourists from around the world who come to see the shrines, tombs, mosques and other attractions that Multan can offer.
Mausoleum of Baha-ud-din-Zakariya
Baha-ud-din-Zakariya was born around 1170 and settled in Multan in 1222 after he had spent 15 years travelling around preaching Islam. He died in 1267 and his beautiful mausoleum was built. Though the mausoleum was almost destroyed during the British siege of Multan in 1848 it was afterwards restored to former glory.
Mausoleum of Rukn-e-Alam
Another of the popular shrines is that of Rukn-e-Alam, another Sufi saint who was born and died in Multan. The saint died in 1335 and was originally buried in his grandfather’s mausoleum, as he had requested, but the body was later moved to this purpose built mausoleum which had been built between 1320 and 1324.
Multan Museum
The Multan Museum gives visitors insight into the history and culture of Multan through its exhibits that include collections of medals, coins, postage stamps, historical models, documents and more. Currently a new home is being constructed for the Multan Museum and once complete will increase the size of the present museum and could mean far more exhibits.
Multan Fort
The ruins of Multan Fort are another of the city’s more famous attractions. Although ruined the site has a long history and was a major fort complex before being destroyed by the British. The walls of the fort included no less than 30 towers and protected by the walls were numerous buildings including a number of mosques, a Khan’s palace and a Hindu temple.
