History of Lahore

Lahore is the cultural heart of Pakistan and one of South Asia's oldest living cities, with roots stretching back over a thousand years. It rose to global prominence under the Mughals (16th–18th c.), who built the Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque and Shalimar Gardens β€” all UNESCO landmarks. Sikh and British colonial eras left their own marks on the Walled City, the Mall Road and the Anarkali Bazaar, making Lahore a layered open-air museum of Punjabi, Islamic and colonial heritage.
