'''Barikot''' ({{lang-hi|बरीकोट}} ; {{lang-ur|بریکوٹ}} ; [[Pashto]]: بریکوټ) is a town situated along the middle course of the Swat River in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]]. It lies approximately 20 kilometers from Mingora and the Butkara Stupa, serving as the gateway to the central Swat Valley with an estimated population of around 25,000 residents. This town is historically significant, housing an ancient citadel that was captured by Alexander the Great, along with Chalcolithic remains dating back to approximately 1700 BC and an early historic settlement from around 600 BC. Since 1984, the Italian Archaeological Mission, later known as ISMEO and founded by Giuseppe Tucci, has been excavating the ruins of the ancient town of Bazira located beneath Barikot. | '''Barikot''' ({{lang-hi|बरीकोट}} ; {{lang-ur|بریکوٹ}} ; [[Pashto]]: بریکوټ) is a town situated along the middle course of the Swat River in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]].
