Ranikot Fort, also known as the Great Wall of Sindh, is a historical fort located near Sann in Jamshoro District, Sindh, Pakistan. It’s believed to be the world’s largest fort, with a circumference of approximately 32 kilometers (20 mi). The fort’s ramparts have been compared to the Great Wall of China due to their extensive length and structure.
The fort was originally constructed under the Talpur dynasty in the 19th century, specifically during the administration of Nawab Wali Muhammed Leghari. It served as the last capital of the Amirs of Sind before they came under British colonial rule1. The site has been nominated for UNESCO World Heritage status and is protected under the Antiquities Act of 19751.
Ranikot Fort is situated within the Kirthar National Park, the second largest national park in Pakistan, and is accessible via a rugged road from the nearest town of Sann1. The fortification wall follows the natural contours of the hilly area and features solid semi-circular bastions at intervals, showcasing the architectural prowess of its builders
