Wazir Khan Masjid

The Wazir Khan Masjid is a 300+-year-old place of worship located inside the Walled City, Lahore’s oldest neighborhood that has been around for centuries. The Mughal-Era mosque was completed in the 17th century and its state of preservation is impressive. Lahore being the de facto “cultural capital” of Pakistan means there’s so much to see in this city, but Wazir Khan is by far one of the most notable of its treasures. Adorned with intricate tile work and frescoes, a visit to this masterpiece will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. To get the best view of the mosque and the surrounding Walled City, you can ask the caretaker to be let up to the top of one of the minarets for a small fee—be prepared for a seriously magical view!
