Mansura

Mansura was an early Islamic capital in the Indus plain of Sindh, established near the older city of Brahmanabad. Arab governors made it a centre of administration after the conquest of Sindh in the eighth century. Excavations have uncovered brick structures, pottery, coins and objects that reveal the life of a city connected to the wider Islamic world. As river courses and political centres changed, Mansura declined and its buildings became mounds in the cultivated plain.
