Here we are at week 3 already.
We still are being very careful due to Covid-19 and going out or sightseeing is still a no no. But I would like to introduce you all to a historic landmark building of my home city, The Lahore fort.
This magnificent fort was built in 1556 by Mughal emperor Akbar. It is a wonderful example of Mughal architecture and there are beautiful examples of both Muslim and Hindu styles of motifs.
Despite the fact that this is not very well maintained, it has stood the test of time quite well. It boasts of beautiful and well-laid gardens and multiple decorative halls.
Anyone who visits Lahore has to visit this historical treasure
Hope you enjoyed this mini trip to one of my favorite places in Lahore.
