Afghanistan - Kandahar

aftv420

    • Kandahār or Qandahār (Pashto/Persian: کندهار or قندهار) is the second largest city in Afghanistan. Many empires have long fought over the city, due to its strategic location along the trade routes of Southern and Central Asia. In 1748, Ahmad Shah Durrani, founder of the Durrani Empire, made Kandahar the capital of Afghanistan. The tomb of Ahmad Shah Durrani is located in the city center, which also houses Durrani's brass helmet and other personal items. In front of Durrani's mausoleums is the Mosque of the Cloak of the Prophet Mohammed, containing one of the most valued relics in the Islamic world, which was given by the Emir of Bokhara to Ahmad Shah Durrani.
