SindhMosqueProtected
This mosque is situated in the outskirt of Thatta city, this old brick mosque is also known as Amir Khusro Khan`s Mosque after the name of its builder, Amir Khusro Khan Charkas. It was completed in 1688 CE. It measures 30 x 13.1 m and has three bays surmounted by one large and two small domes. Despite very bad state of preservation, it still retains some very fine coloured tile work. Its Mehrab is built with stone with most delicate tracery, a superb piece of work.
