Chitta Gate, City gate in Walled City of Lahore, Pakistan.

The east-facing Chitta Gate features white glazed lime plaster and contains a small interior chamber with Mughal architectural elements.

Constructed in 1650 during Shah Jahan's reign, this structure initially served as Lahore's Delhi Gate before being replaced by another gate 100 meters eastward.

The gate stands along the Shahi Guzargah route between the Wazir Khan Mosque and Shahi Hammam, near the Well of Dina Nath and Syed Sūf shrine.

The entrance provides direct access to Chowk Wazir Khan and connects various sections of the historic district through a network of narrow streets.

The structure received its name from the white lime plaster coating its facade, as 'Chitta' translates to 'White' in the local language.
