Akbari Sarai, Mughal caravanserai in Shahdara Bagh, Pakistan.
The Akbari Sarai spans 12 acres and contains 180 cells arranged around a quadrangle, with red sandstone walls displaying detailed geometric patterns.
Construction of this structure began in 1550 during Islam Shah Suri's reign, while additional elements were added under Shah Jahan's rule in the 1600s.
The building served as both a traveler accommodation and a mail station, reflecting the Mughal Empire's emphasis on trade and communication infrastructure.
The complex stands near the Shahdara Bagh railway station and Metrobus Terminal, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring Mughal architecture.
During Maharaja Ranjit Singh's period, this caravan inn transformed into a military cantonment for General Musa Farangi's forces.
