The Lahore Fort (Punjabi and Urdu: شاہی قلعہ‎: Shahi Qila, or "Royal Fort"), is a citadel in the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] The fortress is located at the northern end of walled city Lahore, and spreads over an area greater than 20 hectares.[2] It contains 21 notable monuments, some of which date to the era of Emperor Akbar. The Lahore Fort is notable for having been almost entirely rebuilt in the 17th century,[3] when the Mughal Empire was at the height of its splendour and opulence.
