Alamgiri Gate

Alamgiri Gate
Lahore Fort, Lahore, Punjab

The Alamgiri Gate is the western gateway of Lahore Fort, facing the Badshahi Mosque across the Hazuri Bagh. It is attributed to Aurangzeb, probably built with the mosque in about 1673-74, though no contemporary record confirms it. Two fluted bastions on lotus-shaped bases, each crowned by a domed pavilion, flank its arch, and it is now the main entrance to the Fort.
