Islamabad - Taxila Museum - Sirkap Taxila - Khanpur Lake - Lahore. Distance: 440 km

Sirkap - After the Bhir Mound site was abandoned, Sirkap became the main city of Taxila in the 2nd century B.C. The city was heavily influenced by Greek city planning principles introduced after Alexander the Great’s conquest in the 3rd century B.C. Now in ruins, the city once featured a 6-meter thick, 5-kilometer long defensive wall made of coarse rubble. Like ancient Greek cities, there was a fortified “acropolis” or high ground within the defense perimeter. The streets were more regular than those at Bhir, and the houses were primarily made of coursed stone. Temples, houses, shrines, and stupas lined the main north-south street.

Sirkap thrived under various regimes, starting with the Greeks, followed by the Scythians, Parthians, and finally the Kushanas. The city lost its significance after King Kanishka of the Kushan dynasty established another city at nearby Sirsukh.
