The origins of the Lahore
Fort, a stronghold in Old Lahore, are so ancient that it’s impossible to
establish precisely when the fort was first constructed. It is known, however,
that in the second half of the 16th century, the original mud-brick structure
was demolished and rebuilt with burnt bricks. Since then, this fortified
citadel has undergone numerous other modifications at the hands of almost all
the rulers who reigned over Lahore, British colonialists included. As a result,
it summarizes Pakistan’s amazing cultural heritage in the various artistic
influences seen throughout its wide range of different buildings: mosques,
mausoleums, palaces, audience halls, baths, watch towers, and more. A journey through
Lahore Fort is in fact a journey through Pakistan’s past, and is for this
reason recommended to anyone visiting the country.
