These are two masterpieces from the time of the excellent Mughal civilization, which reached its height during the reign of the Emperor Shah Jahan.

The fort has marble palaces and mosques constructed with mosaics and gilt.

The elegance of these splendid gardens, built near the city of Lahore on three terraces with lodges, waterfalls and large ornamental ponds, is unequalled.
