Sawi Mosque
ساوی مسجد
A 15th-century mausoleum-style building in a northern cemetery, covered in blue glazed tiles and considered one of the oldest surviving tiled structures in Multan.
'Sawi' means green or blue, named after the blue-green glazed tiles that cover its exterior. The building is in fact a small prayer hall with a tomb, built around the Lodi dynasty period of the 15th century. The structure has tilted with age, and it contains several graves. It lies in a cemetery northwest of the old city. The route is not easy to find, so it's best to ask a rickshaw driver to guide you. Very few tourists visit.
