Qaisery Gate

The Qaisery Gate is a colonial entrance in Faisalabad with intricate brickwork in pale yellow and brown tones, marking access to eight connected markets in the city center. The structure serves as the main entry point to a large marketplace complex with shops selling furniture, bathroom fixtures, and other goods.

The gate was built in 1897 during British colonial rule and served as a key structure guiding the city's early growth. It marked the start of the planned market zone that quickly became the city's trading hub.

The gate links several bazaars where traders display traditional goods, maintaining a centuries-old commerce tradition in Punjab's heart. Visitors see daily busy markets with local products and craftspeople practicing their skills as they have for generations.

The gate sits on Railway Road and provides direct access to the markets, making it easy to explore the area. The location is best visited during daytime when shops are open and the markets are active with traders and buyers.

The top sections of the structure still display original construction markings from when it was built. Visitors often miss that a well-known fountain sits directly across from it, which complements the gate as a local landmark.
