Jewel of Lahore
This place has my ❤️
This mosque is said to have been built in 1634 AD. It is indeed of the most beautiful mosque with finest examples of Mughal architecture, a unique blend of calligraphy, geometrical shapes, Persian motifs and floral patterns lends an unhindered touch of grandiosity and opulence to the building. Located in the middle of a very crowded neighborhood, right inside the old walled city of Lahore.

The beauty mark of Lahore's old city - Wazir Khan Mosque
Wazir Khan Mosque is a mosque built of glazed brick, with a surface of colorful glazed bricks, inlaid with exquisite Mughal-style floral patterns, colorful, built in 1642 during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, although the walls are now old but the beauty of the patterns is still charming, indulged in it for a long time.
·At the entrance, you can see the scaffolding for maintenance. The temple has been weathered by wind and sun for a long time, and some of the exquisite patterns reveal the mud walls.
·In the middle of the mosque is a small pool for purification. People who come to worship will purify themselves here and then go to pray. Men are on the right and women on the left. The mosque has installed electric fans and electronic prayer time boards for the convenience of people around to worship.
·Now located in the old city of Lahore, there are old markets nearby, with dried fruits, spices, grains, oil, clothing, and general merchandise. The prices are very cheap. The buildings and doors of the old city are also very beautiful. Many foreign tourists come here to visit and shoot vlogs, but the traffic is too bad, and motorcycles and tuk-tuks are noisy, and motorcycles are also running around in the alleys of the old city.
⚠️The traffic in the old city is particularly bad, and the entrance of Delhi can be said to be very bad, with tuk-tuks parked everywhere, and then motorcycles weaving through them, and some flatbed vendors parking at any time.
🛺Although the tuk-tuk is noisy, it is the best choice in such congested situations. Taxis are stuck for a long time and cannot move. Walk into Delhi Gate
⚠️The market is crowded when you enter, so be careful with your belongings and road safety
🕌You need to take off your shoes to enter the mosque, and women need to wear headscarves to show respect
