Nestled between the awesome Chiltan and Koh-i-Murdar mountains, Quetta makes a dramatic sight. The provincial capital of Balochistan lies 1,692 meters above sea level. This legendary region with its rugged mountains, parched earth, terraced valleys and extremes of temperature, has developed distinct, identifiable and readable patterns of architecture. The curving, rambling mud wall is the basic and omnipresent building element - it defines the streets, the fields, the orchards, the courtyards and the "abode".
