Lahore Castle, a world heritage site, is a landmark building in Lahore in Pakistani culture and is known as "Pakistan's Forbidden City".

Lahore Castle

Lahore Castle was built during the Gaznavi Dynasty in 102 1 year, when it was just a military fortress made of mud. In A.D. 1566, Akbar the Great built a brick fortress surrounded by high walls after the demolition of the old city in order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. With Lahore gradually becoming the commercial center of the South Asian subcontinent and the summer capital of the Mughal dynasty, Mughal emperors of past dynasties constantly built and expanded gardens, fountains and palaces in the castle, making the castle with only military functions a magnificent royal palace. 198 1 year, UNESCO listed Lahore Castle in the World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.
