Lahore Fort
Lahore Fort was built in 1021 during the Ghaznavi Dynasty as a military garrison made of mud. In 1566, when the Mughal Empire was strong, King Akbar built a brick fortress surrounded by walls after demolishing the old city to resist foreign invasion. As Lahore gradually became the commercial center of the South Asian subcontinent and the summer capital of the Mughal dynasty, successive Mughal emperors continued to renovate and expand the gardens, fountains and palaces inside the castle, turning the original military function into a magnificent royal palace. In 1981, UNESCO added Lahore Fort to the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.
Mention the Taj Mahal in India, people will not be unfamiliar with it, the Lahore Fort entered its most glorious era during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan, who lived in Taj in the 17th century. Under Shah Jahan's orders, craftsmen replaced the red sand and stone walls of the castle with white marble, and built in the walls enemy towers, bunkers and gun holes, which not only made the castle more magnificent, but also made it the only building in Pakistan that fully reflects the architectural history of hundreds of years from the Ghaznavi Dynasty to the Mughal Dynasty.
