Multan


Welcome to Multan!

Multan (Urdu/Saraiki: مُلتان‎) is the sixth largest city of Pakistan. It is in the south of Punjab in Pakistan. It is sometimes referred to as the City of Saints.

Multan (مُلتان) is a city and capital of the Multan Division located in Punjab, Pakistan. Situated on the bank of the Chenab River, Multan is Pakistan's 7th largest city and is the major cultural and economic center of Southern Punjab. Multan's history stretches deep into antiquity. The ancient city was the site of the renowned Hindu Multan Sun Temple and was besieged by Alexander the Great during the Mallian Campaign. Multan was one of the most important trading centers of medieval Islamic India, and attracted a multitude of Sufi mystics in the 11th and 12th centuries, earning the city the sobriquet "City of Saints". The city, along with the nearby city of Uch, is renowned for its large number of Sufi shrines dating from that era.
