The Badshahi Mosque in Lahore was commissioned by the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Constructed between 1671 and 1673, it was the largest mosque in the world upon construction.
Aurangzeb's mosque's architectural plan is similar to that of his father, Shah Jehan, the Jama Masjid in Delhi; though it is much larger. it also functions as an idgah. The courtyard which spreads over 276,000 square feet, can accommodate one hundred thousand worshippers; ten thousand can be accommodated inside the mosque. The minarets are 196 feet (60 m) tall. The Mosque is one of the most famous Mughal structures, but suffered greatly under the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. In 1993, the Government of Pakistan included the Badshahi Mosque in the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Feel a sense of tranquility at Badshahi Mosque, a house of prayer for the local Muslim population. Stay a while to do some of your own quiet reflection.

Badshahi Mosque is an interesting place to begin discovering Lahore. This Muslim temple is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other sights like Minar-e-Pakistan, Shalimar Gardens, and Liberty Market to fully experience what's on offer in the area.
