Sethi Street

Sethi Street, located in the old city of Peshawar, is a remarkable collection of five historic houses built in the 19th century by the Sethi family, a wealthy merchant community known for their trade with Russia and China. These structures exemplify Mughal architecture, boasting intricate wooden craftsmanship and unique designs, including some with two stories built underground. While one house is open to the public, access to the others is typically granted with permission from the current inhabitants. The street offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of a bygone era and represents a significant piece of Peshawar's cultural heritage.
