Multan (Multân)

At the citadel of Multan, an archaeological test well sunk to 40 feet revealed deep strata of human occupation, including burn layers matching the sieges of Alexander and Muhammad-bin-Kasim. The city contains prominent medieval monuments like the celebrated octagonal glazed-brick tomb of Rukn-i-Alam, several Naogaza graves, and traditions of the sun-god Aditya.
