Masjid Wazir Khan.

The Mosque of Wazir Khan or commonly known as Masjid Wazir Khan, is yet another Landmark that majestically stands some 300 meters from Delhi Gate in the walled city of Lahore. The construction of this elegant mosque commenced in 1634 AD and it took seven years to complete it in 1641. This was the time when Emperor Shah Jehan was the emperor and the mosque takes its name from the governor of Lahore, Ilam-ud-Dinansari, who was also known as Nawab Wazir Khan. The mosque complex also includes a 22-shop bazaar, which is a unique phenomenon for any mosque in the world.
