Lahore Fort, Fortress in Lahore, Pakistan
The Lahore Fort extends across 20 hectares at the northern end of the Walled City, containing 21 monuments built during different time periods.
Construction of the current fort began in 1566 under Emperor Akbar, replacing an earlier mud-brick structure with red sandstone and masonry architecture.
The Picture Wall spans 1,450 feet with glazed tiles and frescoes depicting court activities, sports, and natural scenes from Mughal royal life.
The fort divides into two main sections: an administrative area with gardens and a private residential zone with royal family chambers.
The Naulakha Pavilion features intricate mosaics made from thousands of semi-precious stones, with its name referring to its construction cost or stone count.
