Pre-Colonial During
Talpur rule over
Sindh, Mir Fateh Ali Khan left
Khudabad and moved his capital to
Hyderabad in 1789. He used the Hyderabad Fort as a residence and a place where he held his court. He added a harem and other buildings to accommodate the ruling family. To enable residents to fulfill their religious obligations, he commissioned the construction of mosques. During this period, the fort was surrounded by working-class homes. After defeating the Mirs in the
Battle of Miani in 1843, the British occupied the fort. Blasts in the fort, later on, destroyed most of the architecture and houses of the public. In 1857, the British razed the remaining edifice to make room for military installation and stores.
