Lahore Fort

Lahore Fort is located in Lahore District, Punjab, Pakistan. Also known as Shahi Qila (Royal Fort). It is said that this fort existed even in ancient times. But in the true sense, it was reconstructed during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar Azam. And now this fort is also considered the glory of Lahore. The fort was extended by several kings after Akbar, making it a masterpiece of Mughal architecture.

Some of the famous places inside the fort include Shesh Mahal, Alamgiri Darwaza, Nolakha Mahal and Moti Masjid. In 1981, UNESCO declared the fort a World Heritage Site along with Shalamar Bagh.
