The Fort and Shalamar Gardens in Lahore, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Pakistan, represent a stunning blend of Mughal architecture and landscaped beauty. The Fort, a sprawling citadel, showcases intricate palaces, halls, and mosques adorned with detailed tile work and marble, reflecting the grandeur of the Mughal Empire. Adjacent to it, the Shalamar Gardens, designed in the Persian charbagh style, feature terraced lawns, fountains, and pavilions that once served as a royal retreat. Together, they stand as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the 16th and 17th centuries.
