Image title
Fort Mastuj. Nov 1885. 'Mastuj, the capital of the district, is merely the fort in which the governor occasionally resides. The fort is situated in the middle of a gently sloping plain between the Yarkhun and Laspur rivers, and is a square structure of mud and stone, with towers at the angles. It is about 50 yards square...Though tactically the fort of Mastuj is of no importance, strategically the position is most important, commanding as it does the routes to Chitral, Gilgit, Yasin, Baroghil, and Dir. At Mastuj is the first permanent bridge (not including rope-bridges), across the Yarkhun river'. [Albumen print, 253x186mm].
