Makli Hill is one of the largest necropolises in the world, with a diameter of approximately 8 km. It is the burial place of some 125,000 local rulers, Sufi saints and others. Makli is located on the outskirts of Thatta, and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981.
There are many legends about the inception of the Makli necropolis, but it is often believed that the cemetery grew around the shrine of a fourteenth-century Sarwa, Muhammad Hussain Abro. According to other sources, however, the credit for establishing Makli as a holy place for worship and burial goes to the immigrant saint, poet and scholar Shaikh Hammad Jamali and the then local ruler, Jam Tamachi. Another legendary person buried at Makli is the saint Pir Murad (1428-1488).
