Sirkap was the second most important site of ancient Gandhara in Punjab-Pakistan. The city was established by a Greco-Bactrian ruler in the 2nd century BCE and lost its importance when Kushan rulers built another city named Sirsukh. One may see different phases and cultural layers at the Sirkap site. This is a panoramic view of Sirkap from the main avenue.
