Shrine of Shah Yousaf Gardezi
دربار شاہ یوسف گردیزی
An 11th-century saint's shrine inside Bohar Gate in the old city. Its flat-roofed square tomb is entirely covered in blue glazed tiles, a rare sight.
Shah Yousaf Gardezi came to Multan from Afghanistan in 1088 and was one of the region's earliest Sufi saints. The present tomb was rebuilt in 1548. It has no dome, and its four walls are covered in Multani blue-and-white glazed tiles, making it a great place to study local tilework. It lies southwest of the old city near Bohar Gate, where the lanes are narrow, so it is best reached on foot and combined with a visit to the old city bazaar.
