Lahore

Lahore is one of the legendary cities of the subcontinent. The old capital of the Punjab, it has always been a centre of culture and trade.


In the old city, one can still imagine how it must have been a hundred or two hundred years ago. Strolling throught the roads and alleys there, one always get lost (part of the fun) and then all of a sudden stands in front of a huge gate or a mosque like the beautiful





Mosque of Wazir Khan. A bit like mosques in Iran with its tiles. And quite different from















the biggest and most famous mosque of Lahore, the Badshahi Mosque. One of the most famous examples of the Mughal style of architecture. Awesome!
