Fareed Gate

Fareed Gate is a city gate in Bahawalpur that functions as a historic entrance to the old quarter. The structure displays traditional architectural elements with detailed ornamentation and carved features typical of the period.

The gate was named after Khwaja Ghulam Farid and originally served as one of the main entrances to the city. It was built during the period when Bahawalpur developed into an important urban center.

The gate serves as a meeting point where local people gather during celebrations and festive occasions. It functions as a visible symbol of the city's identity and heritage for those who pass through.

The gate is easily accessible on foot and located in the heart of the old city. The surrounding area is open to visitors and can be explored at any time of day.

The gate received special illumination as part of an art project along Circular Road that decorates buildings with murals of local life. At night the lighting brings out details that are not always visible during the day.
