Empress Market

Located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan's Saddar Town neighborhood, is a market known as Empress Market. It was built between 1884 and 1889 and was named after the then-Empress of India, Queen Victoria. The structure included a courtyard that was 130 feet by 100 feet, and it had four galleries that were 46 feet wide. 280 stores and stall owners were housed in the galleries, making it one of seven marketplaces in Karachi when it was built. The market's massive, robust gates significantly increased the area's security. The building's design is one of a kind thanks to its blend of Roman and Indian influences. Today the area is one of Karachi's busiest and most well-known retail destinations. The heart of Empress market is the colonial-era edifice that has become an instant landmark. One of Karachi's busiest and oldest markets has stood the test of time. What to see at Empress Market?
