The Kot Diji Fort is a military fortress from the Talpur era in Sindh, and is located in Kot Diji town within the Khairpur District of Sindh, Pakistan

Constructed in 1797 under the commission of Mir Sohrab Khan, the ruler of Khairpur, this fort was originally known as Qila-e-Ahmadabad.

The fort is situated approximately 25 kilometers from Khairpur city, the administrative headquarters of the district.

The construction of the Kot Diji Fort was overseen by Sarai Muhammad Salih Zahri Baloch, who was assigned this responsibility by Mir Sohrab Khan

The fort features three distinct lines of defense, each marked by a heavily fortified gate

To reach the central area, an intruder must pass through all three gates, making any invasion an arduous task.

The Kot Diji Fort is strategically positioned on top of a high limestone hill, making its defenses nearly impenetrable

 The most crucial sections, including the ammunition depot, water storage tank, and prison, are centrally located, ensuring they remain secure.

The Kot Diji Fort, with its intricate design, layered defenses, and strategic positioning, is a great example of military ingenuity of the Talpur dynasty

Today, it remains an invaluable historical site, providing insights into the military and architectural advancements of its time.
