Lahore Fort {Punjabi and Urdu:شاہی قلعہ,} is a fort in Lahore, Punjab Province, Pakistan. Fort Wall is located at the northern tip of Lahore city, covering an area of more than 20 hectares. It has 21 notable monuments, some of which date back to the time of Emperor Akbar. When the Mughal Empire was at its height, Lahore Fort is almost entirely noteworthy for its reconstruction.
The castle is divided into two parts: the first administrative section, which is well connected to the main entrances, and includes gardens and a special hall for the royal audience. Second, the private and invisible residential section is divided into northern courts and is accessible through the Elephant Gate. It also includes a glass palace, spacious bedrooms and small gardens. The exterior walls are decorated with blue Persian tile. The main door is in front of the Maryam Zamani Mosque and a large universal door opens towards the Hazari Bagh through the Royal Mosque. The influence of Hindu architecture can be seen in the zoomorphic corbels.
In 1980, the government of Pakistan named the fort a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I, ii, and iii as well as Shalimar Garden. At the Fifth Meeting in Sydney in October 1981, the World Heritage Site Committee added both monuments to the list.
In 2000, Pakistan sent a letter to the organization asking that both sites be added to the endangered World Heritage List and help restore the exterior walls of the Shalimar Gardens and the damaged part of the hydraulic works. To be given In April 2006, it was reported that authorities had urged UNESCO that the palace's name was in danger due to extensive restoration work funded by Norway, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and France. Remove from the list of projects for the restoration of World Heritage Sites include the works of Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, and Hazara Bagh. After years of ren○vation and rest○ration, the f○rt and Shalimar Gardens were rem○ved from the endangered list in June 2012. However, in 1990, UNESCO ordered the Archaeological Department to ban the use of the fort for public or private purposes. Historically significant, the wedding was welcomed on December 23, 2010.
