Thatta, about 98 km (61 miles) east of Karachi, remained the capital of Sindh for about four centuries. Today, it is notable for a vast necropolis of a million graves scattered over an area of 10 sq. km. (six sq. miles) on Makli Hills. Some of these tombs and graves are exquisite specimens of architecture, stone-carving and glazed tile decorations. Also in Thatta is the Shahjahan Mosque built on the orders of Emperor Shahjahan. Its blue tiles and mosaic work are alluring. Monument Balcony in Thatta is very famous spot.
