Hello guys. Today, in this blog, I will share with you some more beautiful walls and gates of the Royal Fort and also tell you about their history, which is a major reason for the attraction of this fort. As I promised you, I will bring you Part Two of the Royal Fort because I have countless beautiful pictures of this fort. You can see Part One of the Royal Fort here.

In the picture you can see a vehicle on which you can sit and tour the entire fort, but I think it is better to visit this fort by walking. This fort is quite big and heavy people can get tired, they should sit in this vehicle, but I prefer to visit this fort by walking so that good pictures can be made. The beautiful art made on the walls and doors can be felt by touching it with your hands and by reading the plaques attached to it, you can gather related knowledge about this fort, what is the history of this fort.

Look at this picture, I took this picture by sticking my hand out of the window. My cousin was saying that if the mobile falls down, it might be difficult to find it because someone could have picked it up by the time we reached the bottom. I captured the shot while holding the mobile tightly and I really liked this shot. You can see how beautiful the art is on the wall and the walls are quite thick.

You can see the outer wall, it is so thick that horses can be run on it. I felt like I was in the past at that time and I was imagining how it must have looked in the old days and how the soldiers would have been standing here protecting it.

This is the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) where the king used to listen to the complaints of the common people and make their decisions and any events were planned here. I took a good picture of it which you can see above. We also went inside and visited it. It was quite a big hall and there were some people dressed in old-fashioned clothes and standing in it holding swords in the same style so that people could take pictures with them.

This is me and this picture of me was taken by my cousin Moazam and in the back you can see the pavilion which has arched doors and you will see many such doors and pavilion in this fort because this fort is quite big. To the right of where I am standing there was a prison cell which was very scary and it was completely dark inside. I was looking through these windows and I couldn't see anything.

Below you can see a door and I was quite surprised to see it because of how complicated the art is made on it. You can zoom in and see it. This shows the hard work of the people of the olden days and how intelligent they were.

You can see this 3D art, it is so beautiful. I am very fascinated by the 3D arts of the old era which are made on the walls and ceilings. I showed you the black color door, there we saw some coins and books of the old era which were reserved inside the glass. I have shared their pictures above, you can see them.

Below you can see a structure of the Taj Mahal, we also got to see this there. The Taj Mahal is located in India and I have heard a lot about its beauty but I have not visited it yet. I wish I could visit it and know the secret of its beauty.

It was a small mosque with a verandah on three sides and an entrance on one side and all the doors in the verandah were arched and beautifully decorated with art as you can see in the pictures. There was no one there and it was very quiet. I clicked a few pictures and came out.

In the picture above you can see a Jahangir's Quadrangle which was built as the main women's quarters and it was also designed with great beauty and sophistication. There was a fountain in the middle and on the sides there were countless red and white flowers and they were presenting a very beautiful view.

My cousin and I sat near these flowers to rest for a while because we were tired. In the picture below you can see my cousin drinking water and I took a selfie with him. We took off our shoes and put our feet on the grass so that our feet could get some rest. It was very clean here and we did not spread any dirt and proved to be good tourists.

Look at how old and strong the walls of this royal fort are. Even after 300 years, this building is still standing and the color of the walls has faded but the carvings and 3D art on them still drive you crazy. I love seeing such old places and all the doors and windows here are made in the shape of arches which gives a very beautiful vibe.

This is me and this beautiful picture of me was taken by my cousin and I also took a similar picture of my cousin. There were some beautiful plants in the pots and the pictures were coming very beautiful. Below you can see some more ancient walls which always fascinate me.

Some of the walls of this fort are being renovated exactly like that way to make it a good point for tourists. Small bricks were used in the construction of this fort which is why it is so strong.

This is the entrance of this Lahore Fort and look how big and beautiful it is, I think it has been repainted. We spent about an hour and a half in this fort and visited this entire fort. Finally I was very happy to visit this fort because it is the most famous and historical fort of Lahore. I hope you will enjoy reading the history of this fort and some beautiful carvings and 3D arts. Don't forget to give your feedback about this fort in my comment section. I will be waiting for your comments.


SEE YOU NEXT TIME 🌸
