Pakka Qila (Hyderabad Fort), Makki Shah Rd. Pakka Qila translates as strong fort was built on one of the three hills on which the city was built by the Kalhoro ruler Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro to keep out invaders during the 17th century and to house and defend his people. Though today the massive historic fort is not well maintained and in worst condition due to negligence, but still it is is the best landmark of the Hyderabad and something one must not miss to see from outside at the least. Most of the area inside the compound has been inhabited by people who migrated from India in mass exchange of populations in 1947. The construction of the fort was begin in 1766 AD and completed by 1768 AD. Later, the Talpur rulers defeated and conquered Hyderabad and settled inside the fort until they were defeated by the Britishers in the battle of Miani in 1843 AD. The main gate of the fort is still there for visitors to see and take photographs. The fort was built using fire-baked bricks giving it the name of the strong fort.

Kacha Qila, Makki Shah Rd. At some distance from Pakka Qila is Kacha Qila, **translates as the weak fort **but some call it Maki Shah Qila as there’s a shrine inside the fort. This is small as compare to Pakka Qila, was made of mud and is now in very desolated state. The fort was built by the same Kalhoro ruler who built Pakka Qila in the year 1768 AD. The fort was made for the same reason the Pakka Qila was made but by using unbaked clay bricks as opposed to fired baked bricks which were used for the construction of Pakka Qila. Today, most people head to the fort to pay a visit to shrine of Makki Shah built on the hill of the fort. Both the Pakka Qila and Kacha Qila is deteriorated and in very desolated state now but they shows a good example of early modern fortifications.
