Sirsukh is the youngest of the three ancient ruined cities of Taxila, founded by the Kushan rulers in the 1st century AD. Tourists can walk along the massive perimeter wall ruins, featuring semicircular defensive bastions designed to protect against nomadic invasions. The cooler winter months offer the best conditions for exploring this sprawling, open-air archaeological landscape.
