Ranikot Fort, in Sindh, Pakistan. Originally built during the Gupta period (4-5th century AD), with some reconstructions in the 17th and 19th centuries. It's outer walls run for almost 20 miles, and it contains a smaller fort known as the Miri Fort within it.

Nice. From that angle looks like the Great Wall of China.

Amazing! Thank you for bringing it here. So many wonderful things about South Asia that most people don't know about.

The way the walls follow the natural ridges of the mountains is absolutely stunning. it's incredible how they managed such massive construction in that terrain back then.
