The Haram Gate stands at the southern end of Alang Road and is one of the six surviving gates of the old walled city. The name — meaning "forbidden" or "sanctuary" — reflects the fact that this gate gave the most direct access to the fort precinct and was the route used by visiting officials and pilgrims to the great Sufi shrines. It was rebuilt in the eighteenth century in the standard Multani style: a tall brick portal with flanking guard chambers.
Like all the gates it is now stranded in modern traffic, but it is a useful landmark when navigating the southern bazaars. Many of the walled city's best leather and brass workshops lie within a few hundred metres of the gate.
