- Description: The Sheesh-Mahal, in Lahore Fort, Pakistan. Located in the northwestern corner of Lahore city, this trapezoidal composition is spread over 20 hectares. Origins of the fort go as far back as antiquity; however, the existing base structure was built during the reign of Mughal emperor Akbar (1556-1605), and was regularly upgraded by subsequent rulers, having thirteen gates in all. A rich manifestation of Mughal architecture, the fort is divided into two sections: first the administrative section, which is well connected with main entrances, and comprises larger garden areas for royal audiences. The second - a private and concealed residential section - is divided into courts in the northern part, accessible through 'elephant gate'. Some of the famous sites inside the fort include: Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. In 1981, the fort was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. March 6, 2005.
