The tomb of Bahauddin Zakariya stands in central Multan in the northeast corner of the former fort at the heart of the old city. Built in the early-mid 13th century, it represents the earliest example of a distinctive Multani style of architecture which establishes a type of mausoleum building which was to endure in the lower Indus valley for 700 years. The mausoleum was largely destroyed by British shelling in the siege of 1848, but was restored upon its original foundations a few years later.
