Gates along with an opening, making a total of thirteen.
Akbar built the wall and Gates around the city in his
regime 1584-1598 CE to make this riverside city safe
from the invaders as well as from the local criminals. The
Mughal miniatures present few patterns of these Gates
as the backdrops however, the British period artists of
the 19th century carried out many outstanding
watercolours and lithographs displaying the architectural
details of these Gates. Later, these Gates of Lahore
