I visited Lahore and Murree on vacation recently. My sister took some pictures of the shahi qila or fort of Lahore and the mosque built inside it.

The size of the shahi Qila cannot be truly appreciated in these pictures. It is truly massive with the minarets towering high. Compare the minaret in the picture above with the houses in the background to get an idea of its height.

The mosque’s domes are huge and imposing. Inside the mosque there are large open spaces underneath the domes. Indeed these magnificient buildings say a lot about the glory days of Lahore.
