Also known as the
Shahi Qila. This castle was built under the Mughal emperor Akbar, but has been continuously augmented by the subsequent rulers, including the British who used it as a fort instead of a palace. Within the
Qila (meaning “castle”) are Shish Mahal (
mahal means “palace”),
Alamgiri Gate,
Naulakha pavilion, and
Moti Masjid (
moti means “pearl”). The Moti Masjid was built by Shah Janan to extend the Naulakha pavilion. The Lahore Fort encompasses many different architectural designs date as far back as the 16th century Mughal era and are as recent as the 20th century British era.
