Nawab Said Khan Tomb
Khyber PakhtunkhwaTombProtected
The tomb of Said Khan, stands in the middle of a quadrangle, enclosed by a wall with corner turrets. It is an octagonal building with four high arched entrances on four sides and the corner sides, which are smaller in length, have deep alcoves in two stories. The double dome is raised on a high-shouldered octagonal drum. In 1926, this building was turned into a church. This is the end of the splendid garden tomb of Nawab Said Khan, the only Mughal governor who probably lies, buried in Peshawar.
