It is a Mughal-era congregational mosque in Lahore, capital of Punjab province, Pakistan, located west of Lahore Fort along the outskirts of the Walled City of Lahore, considered one of Lahore's most iconic landmarks and sights. It was constructed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb between 1671 and 1673, a symbol of Mughal architecture (and the largest mosque of this era), with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay.
