Jehangir was the fourth of the six great Mughal emperors and the only one to have his final resting place in modern day Pakistan. Jehangir suffered badly from asthma and as a result didn't get on with the summer climate in Delhi and Agra, preferring to spend a great deal of time in Lahore and the more northern parts of his empire. It was while returning from one of these trips that he fell ill and died. His wife, Nur Jehan, built him a tomb complex on the site of a caravanseri on the outskirts of Lahore in the traditional char baigh formal garden style. Based on the style of the other Moghul tombs, I imagine that Jehangir's tomb once had a dome over the central cenotaph, but I suppose it probably collapsed through neglect some time in the last 380 years.
I took this picture in 1998 during one of many happy visits to the beautiful city of Lahore.
The Badshahi Mosque (Urdu: بادشاہی مسجد, or in Persian Padshahi Masjed, meaning the 'Imperial Mosque') in Lahore, commissioned by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1671 and completed in 1673, is the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world. Epitomising the beauty, passion and grandeur of the Mughal era, it is Lahore's most famous landmark and a major tourist attraction.[1] It is located in Iqbal Park in Lahore, Pakistan which is one of the largest urban parks in Pakistan.
The Lahore Fort, locally referred to as Shahi Qila is citadel of the city of Lahore.The Lahore Fort is one of the greatest fort built by the Mughals in South Asia. The Fort was originally built by Malik Ayaz, later it was altered by the famous architect who created the Taj Mahal, and finally it was rebuilt by the Great Akbar, lending itself to its own distinct character, history, and flavor.
The massive doors, and great walls of Lahore Fort, include the Diwan-e-Azam, a grand throne room with a marble pavilion, and a majestic court designed for public audiences. In addition Sheesh Mahal, the Naulakha, and Moti Masjid also located within the fort speak eloquently of days gone by, a time when architecture and design was created with unparalleled detail for the pleasure of great emperors, royalty, princes, and princesses. Intricate patterns of inlaid precious stones, carvings, mosaic tiles, and murals are displayed against backgrounds of rough tiles designed with such quality, that today, they are as beautiful as the day they were created and placed.

The Lahore Fort, locally referred to as the Shahi qila , Royal Fort), is a citadel in the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is located in the northwestern corner of the Walled City of Lahore in Iqbal Park, which is one of the largest urban parks in Pakistan. The trapezoidal composition is spread over 20 hectares.
Origins of the fort extend far into antiquity but the existing base structure was built during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar between 1556–1605. It was regularly upgraded by subsequent Mughal rulers and after the fall of the Mughal Empire it fell to Sikh and British rulers. It has two gates. One of the gates built by Aurangzeb is called Alamgiri gate that opens towards Badshahi mosque and another older gate built by Akbar is called Maseeti[note 1] or Masjidi gate that opens towards Maseeti area of Walled city. Currently Alamgiri Gate is used as the principal entrance while Maseeti Gate is permanently closed. The fort manifests the rich traditions of Mughal architecture. Some of the famous sites inside the fort include Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha Pavilion, and Moti Masjid.
In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalimar Gardens. The Pakistan Pavilion at Expo 2010 is designed as a replica of the fort
