Walled City of Lahore
The Walled City of Lahore, also known as the “Old City”, is the section of Lahore, Pakistan, that was fortified by a city wall during the Mughal era. It is located in the northwestern part of the city and includes both the Imperial Mosque and the Fort (Shahi Qila).
Shahi Qila (Lahore Fort)
Shahi Qila (Royal Fort) is a Mughal citadel in Lahore, Pakistan. It is located on the other side of Hazuri Bagh from the Badshahi Masjid. It was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century.
Badshahi Masjid (Imperial Mosque of Lahore)
I was (again) in Lahore, Pakistan for a few months this autumn: I took the opportunity to go visit some of the major landmarks in the area. Today, I will post photos of the Badshahi Masjid (Imperial Mosque) in Lahore: It was built in 1673 by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and, for a long time, was the largest mosque in the world (now 5th). It is one of Lahore’s most famous landmarks and a major tourist attraction.
