Building with two Domes near Old Civil Hospital
SindhBuildingProtected
The origin of this building is shrouded in obscurity. However, the structural features indicate that the building must have been constructed sometimes in the 17th century during the Mughal period. Local believe that this building was used as residence by Nawab Amir Khan, a Mughal Governor during Shah Jahan`s rule. This monument is built over the ruins of another building. It is a massive brick structure built in a rectangular shape. Though the two domes are still intact, the overall condition of the building is unsatisfactory.
