- Lahore Fort - The Lahore Fort, also known as Shahi Qila, is a vast complex of fortifications, marble mosques, and palaces in Lahore, Pakistan. It was constructed by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, famously known as Akbar the Great. Although the site had buildings and fortifications since the 11th century and earlier, it was under Akbar’s reign that the fort truly flourished.
- Badshahi Mosque - Known as the King of all mosques in Lahore, the Badshahi Mosque held the title of the world’s largest mosque for over 313 years. Its grandeur is evident from the fact that for the first 70 years after its construction in 1673, it was renowned for its extraordinary size, visible from nearly ten miles away. The mosque remains a significant historical and holy site, standing with great splendor and magnificence.
- Masjid Wazir Khan - The Wazir Khan Mosque was built in 1634 by Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, the Viceroy of Punjab under Shah Jahan. Ansari, originally from Chiniot in the Jhang district of Punjab, studied medicine under Hakim Dawi and became the personal physician to Prince Kuram, the future Shah Jehan. Impressed by Ansari’s skills, the prince awarded him the title Wazir Khan, meaning “Minister” in Urdu, in 1620.
Wazir Khan acquired a large tract of land in Lahore, bordered by the Delhi Gate to the east and the Lahore Fort to the west. He established the mosque on the site of the tomb of Syed Muhammed Ishaq (also known as Miran Badshah), a saint who migrated from Iran in the 13th century. Wazir Khan also founded a bathhouse (Shahi Hammam) and other commercial establishments along the road to the mosque, with their income intended to ensure the mosque’s maintenance in perpetuity.
- Shahi Hammam - The 17th-century Shahi Hammam fell into disuse during the decline of the Mughal Empire and the ensuing chaos. The 1,000 m² complex was rehabilitated over two years, with interventions including the exposure, conservation, and display of the original waterworks, drainage, and heating networks, as well as the historic floor level. The restoration included the original entrance, internal chambers, and architectural features, with provisions for internal and external illumination. The original frescoes from the Mughal period were also conserved. Once neglected, the hammam is now vibrant with cultural programming and events.
- Gali Surjan Singh - Lahore, a historical city, is currently the second most important business hub in Pakistan. The Walled City of Lahore is famous, and Surjan Singh Street is currently a hot topic.
Surjan Singh was a poet and Hakeem by profession, known for his generosity. According to some research, he treated royals, which contributed to his popularity. The street he lived on in Lahore was named Gali Surjan Singh in his honor.
Gali Surjan Singh is a model street in the Walled City of Lahore and has become a popular topic in Lahore. Many people are amazed by its cleanliness and decoration, which surprise visitors. The residents, with the help of the Walled City Authority, have beautified Surjan Singh Street.
- Haveli Mian Sultan - Mian Sultan was a renowned contractor during British rule. Have you heard of him or his haveli inside the Walled City of Lahore? Before discussing his haveli, a mesmerizing piece of art, let’s learn about this contractor. Mian Muhammad Sultan came to Lahore from Kashmir at the age of 12, as his maternal family resided there. He was not affluent and belonged to a lower-middle-class family. Historical accounts state that he was the first to manufacture soap in Lahore, an interesting fact! Some historians also mention that he practiced wrestling for a living, and Maharajah Sher Singh rewarded him with a horse, a significant prize for Sultan, who never knew where his fate would lead him.
- Chitta Darwaza - This gate is located on the eastern side of Wazir Khan Square. It was the original Delhi Gate until the British constructed a new Delhi Gate about 100 meters beyond it. The gate was finished with white glazed lime plaster, hence the name Chitta Darwaza or White Gate, as “Chitta” means white in Punjabi. Dina Nath, the Raja of Kalankor, built this gate and the nearby well. The WCAL recently restored it as it lies on the Shahi Guzargah or Royal Trail.

Tomb of Muhammad Iqbal - Iqbal was a major inspiration behind the Pakistan Movement and is revered in Pakistan as Muffakir-e-Pakistan (The Thinker of Pakistan) or Shair-e-Mashriq (The Poet of the East). Iqbal passed away on 21 April 1938 in Lahore at the age of 60. Thousands of visitors come to the mausoleum daily to pay their respects to the poet-philosopher. It is said that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk sent earth collected from Maulana Rumi’s tomb to be sprinkled on this grave.
Soon after Iqbal’s death in April 1938, a committee was formed, presided over by Chaudhary Mohammed Hussain.
The architecture combines various styles, mainly reflecting the Mughal style. The structure is entirely constructed of red sandstone, brought from Jaipur, British India, and building marble from Makrana, Rajputana. After Pakistan’s independence in 1947, construction was affected due to export restrictions of red stone from India. - Food Street Fort Road - The street was reconstructed and opened in 2012 as a tourist attraction, offering Lahori cuisine and views of the Badshahi Mosque.
- Haveli Alif Shah - Many may have visited the Royal Trail or Shahi Guzargah inside Delhi Gate of Lahore. It features significant monuments from the Mughal, Sikh, and British eras. At the end of the beautiful streets on the Royal Trail, known as Gali Surjan Singh, there is an Imam Bargah or haveli known as Haveli Alif Shah.
This historic haveli is over three hundred years old and was converted into an Imam Bargah around 1861.
This haveli is among the most venerated in the Walled City during Muharram and Safar processions. Life here during Muharram is entirely different from other days, and people from all sects visit it.
The processions from the 7th to the 10th of Moharram emerge from it, even though this haveli is smaller than Nisar or Mubarak Haveli. The haveli’s courtyard is an Imam Bargah where hundreds of mourners gather during Moharram and Safar, all dressed in black as is customary during these times.
- Asli Phajja Siri Paye - Phajja Siri Paye is the oldest Paye shop in Lahore, over 100 years old, located in Taxali Gate near Shahi Qila (Lahore Fort). People come from afar.
- Masjid Shab Bhar - Masjid-e-Shab Bhar in Lahore - A Mosque Built in One Night
This mosque was constructed overnight due to a dispute between Hindus and Muslims over the plot of land during the British colonial period.
