Lahore Fort in Bannu

Best historical place that i have visited. Most beautiful part was listening Magrib Azan while standing near Weapon house.

gorgeous structures with rich history. if youre a pakistani make sure to carry proof, the tickets are 500 for foreigners and 50 for pakistanis. the road to reach there however was very congested and difficult to drive through. whether you find it boring or not depends on you and your interest in the history of pakistan.

Lahore fort built in 17nth century. Worth to visit and be amazed whats inside. Well maintained and cleaned . They have a mini bus to ride or you can just go by walk. We hired a tourist guide for us to understand more and he is well knowledgeas expected☺️. It is one of the most historical place in Pakistan. Came with my family first time last month all the way from dubai.It was a great experience to be part of this magical place. Hope to visit again🙂 loving this place😍

It is worth seeing place of Mughal era. You have to buy ticket of Rs. 50 to enter. There is concession for educational institutions trips. You are also hire electric cart and guide to visit the fort. Its very unfortunate that this historical place is badly neglected and not properly maintained.

Great fort in the heart of Lahore. The place is in the vicinity of the Badsaha mosque, a Sikh temple, and another historic landmark. The fort lies on the bay of the Ravi River. Fine architecture with Mughal era design is visible in the fine fort. The place is the absolute witness of the Mugal Regime which demonstrate the ancient art and culture. A similar kind of for we can find in Delhi i.e. Redfort. The same design, the same architect lies there. Absolute art with fine finishing is the charector of this fort.

Excellent place to visit historical sites.

It is such a glamorous place. Do not miss out on it when visiting Lahore, as these walls truly preserved the vibe of a bygone era. We spent about 2.5 hours inside, but we would have gladly spent even more time here. The architecture is phemonal.

Lahore Fort (شاہی قلعہis one of the most important and popular landmark in Pakistan LahoreFull of historical information

Such a disappointment to visit that place, no rehabilitation/restoration by the Government Heritage department. Our people throw everywhere this more looks like a ruin place ! Not recommended until Government should restore its old beauty

Lahore Fort a world heritage site.Built by Mughal empire in 17th Century,these parts of fort is not every body has seen because of it is outer walls of the Fort these walls are walkways through the different parts of Lahore city

Very delicate art work in the Naulakha (vicinity of sheehmahal)Although some stone work has been carved out and lotted in British era. Still the glory remains.

Newly restored. The Iconic Alamgiri Gate is open for public now. The biggest picture wall is fully restored now. Huge place. Must visit for history enthusiasts.

The monument takes us back to history, graceful and mesmerizing indeed. History lovers must visit the place, it is surrounded by other historical places like Minar e Pakistan, Badshahi Masjid, Sikh temple and Walled City of Lahore.The Lahore Fort is one of the noblest structures of its kind in the world. Rising out of the northwest corner of the walled city, it has been a symbol of its earliest days. If it could speak, it would tell such things that would leave the listener breathless. It could tell of love, romance and adventure, of dark eyed beauties and fierce-browed warriors, of queens in flowing silks and kings in shining armour, of poets, actors, slaves and concubines, of soldiers and rebels, of revolutions and court intrigues, of coronations and assassinations, of treachery and black revenge.The Lahore fort, also known as SHAHI QILA, is a reflection of many centuries. The earliest reference to the fort comes in a history of Lahur (Lahorecompiled by Al-Biruni, which refers to a fort constructed in the early 11th century. He further notes that Munshi Sujan Rae Bhandari, author of the Khulasatut Tawarikh in 1695-96 A.D., records that Malik Ayaz, a favorite of Sultan Mahmud, built a masonry fort at Lahore and repopulated the city. Khan believes it is the same fort that was destroyed by the Mongols in 1241 and in 1398 by a detachment of Timur’s army after which it was rebuilt again in 1421 by Sayyid, son of Khizr Khan.Mughal emperor Akbar the great, demolished the earlier mud fort, and re-built it in burnt brick in 1566. Akbar’s successors, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb added several buildings to the fort.Lahore fort is located in north-western corner of the walled city of Lahore. Though irregular in scheme the fort measures about 427 meters east-west and 335 meters north-south excluding the fortification wall added later during the Sikh rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1799 – 1839 A.D). It is enclosed within a strong fortification wall, built in small burnt bricks. The main gates are located in the middle of the east and the west walls. A gateway, providing access to the private apartment of the royalty, exist in the northwest corner. The fort was essentially a fortress-palace, but it also, served as an abode for royal treasury, and a stronghold in the event of war.

Built by the Mughals, this place oozes class and artistic supremecy.. WCLA has done a good job in restoring and preserving it. A must visit if you are visiting Lahore

Great Monument of the great Mughal Empire.One a Kind fortress. A very good place to visit with family. Again remained in use of different emperors of Hindustan. Well maintained by the Govt. currently its under maintenance. The new Sikh Museum is a new good addition.I the gallery for the very first time we saw the Last Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.

Its really amazing site to visit. But most part of this fort is in process or renovation and repairing, so you cant able to enjoy real ancient feelings. I think no any fort guides are available on site. This is a stunningly gorgeous and historically significant location. People who are interested in history should go there and take in the sights. The most magical destination in the world to see the best Mughal Empire architecture.

The Fort of Lahore.The Lahore Fort has withstood over 500 years and still when you look at it, not much has changed.

The foundations of the modern Lahore Fort date to 1566 during the reign of Emperor Akbar, who bestowed the fort with a syncretic architectural style that featured both Islamic and Hindu motifs. Additions from the Shah Jahan period are characterized by luxurious marble with inlaid Persian floral designs, while the forts grand and iconic Alamgiri Gate was constructed by the last of the great Mughal Emperors, Aurangzeb, and faces the renowned Badshahi Mosque.

Great example of Mughal era buildings and gardens.Huge site with many different buildings and gardens.Minimum of an hour needed to walk around the site.Guides and tour bus available at extra cost.A lot of walking, so be mindful of the heat during midday.
