Lahore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a sprawling complex of palaces, gardens, and halls that reflect the grandeur of Mughal emperors. Highlights include the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), with its thousands of tiny mirrors, and the elegant Naulakha Pavilion. The fort also houses the Lahore Museum, displaying artifacts from the Indus Valley civilization to the Sikh era. Visitors can wander through the Picture Wall, a massive mosaic depicting hunting scenes, and enjoy views of the Badshahi Mosque from the fort's ramparts.
