General Post Office, Administrative building on Mall Road in Lahore, Pakistan.

The General Post Office occupies a central location at GPO Chowk, featuring two main entrance gates and dual minarets that define its architectural character.

Built in 1887 under the design of Sir Ganga Ram, this postal facility marked the commemoration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in British colonial India.

The General Post Office maintains its position near the shrine of Shah Chiragh, connecting the modern postal services with traditional religious landmarks.

The facility processes 20,000 mail items daily through three operational sections: Domestic Mail, International Mail Office, and Delivery Service.

The Chief Post Master's office contains a clock tower with an iron bell manufactured in 1860, predating the building itself.
