Ranikot Fort (Sindhi: رني ڪوٽ قلعو; also known as Rannikot), also known as the Great Wall of Sindh (Sindhi: سنڌ جي عظيم ديوار), is a 19th-century (reconstructed) Talpur-era fort near Sann in Jamshoro District, Sindh, Pakistan. The fort's ramparts have been compared to the Great Wall of China.
The site was nominated in 1993 by the Pakistan National Commission for UNESCO world heritage status, and has since been on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The fort is listed as a historical site under the Antiquities Act, 1975 and its subsequent amendments, and has a protected status.
