History edit

 
Ruins of a temple at Malot

Malot Fort was built in the 10th century AD and has the synthesis of Kashmiri and Greek architecture.[5] Constructed following the decline and eventual disappearance of Greek Taxila, Malot Fort was developed by the stonemasons of the Potohar plateau who preserved the Greek architectural techniques across multiple generations.[6] Rudyard Kipling described it in his novel, Kim as "...by workmen whose hands were feeling, and not unskilfully, for the mysteriously transmitted Grecian touch."[6]

Over the course of a millennium, the hill on which Malot resides has experienced geological alterations, resulting in the formation of narrow fissures.[5]

Architecture edit

Malot Fort built of local red sand stones of Salt Range mountains, is located on the road leading to Malot village near Choi village.
