Lahore · لاہور · Since antiquity
Four centuries of empire,
written in stone, tile and water.
Walk the Mughal capital of the Punjab — its imperial fort, its great mosques and its terraced gardens — then test what you have learned in six heritage adventures.
The City
A capital of the Mughal world
Lahore was one of the great cities of the Mughal Empire. Emperors rebuilt its fort, raised its mosques and laid out its gardens; Sikh and British rulers followed; and in 1940 an open ground beside the old city gave its name to the resolution that led to Pakistan.

The Walled City
The old city of Lahore was entered through a ring of gates. From Delhi Gate, the Shahi Guzargah — the royal route — winds past the Wazir Khan Mosque, through bazaars and havelis, to the Lahore Fort. Much of this route has been conserved by the Walled City of Lahore Authority.
