Kotdiji fort
Kot Diji refers to both an ancient archaeological site (pre-Harappan, ~3300 BCE) and an 18th-century fort (Fort Ahmadabad) in Khairpur District, Sindh, Pakistan, showcasing early Indus Valley Civilization culture and a well-preserved Talpur-era fortress, strategically located near the Indus River and Thar Desert. The site features a citadel and outer settlement, while the fort offers insights into regional history and defense, with later uses as a prison before becoming a protected monument.
