Description:

En Ру

The current Lahore fortress of burnt bricks and red sandstone was founded by the Mughal emperor Akbar. Jahangir continued his father’s building endeavors, completing the northern courtyard in 1617-1618. Under him in 1614-1625. the northern and northwestern walls of the fortress were decorated. Shah Jahan, famous for building the Taj Mahal, was born in the Lahore citadel and therefore was especially attached to it. Under him, Shih-kila turns from a fortification into a palace. The “mirror palace” and “audience hall” built for Shah Jahan were in no way inferior to the palace halls in Agra and Delhi in terms of the splendor of the decor.

Нынешняя Лахорская крепость из обожжённого кирпича и красного песчаника была заложена могольским императором Акбаром. Джахангир продолжил строительные начинания своего отца, завершив северный двор в 1617—1618 гг. При нём же в 1614—1625 гг. были украшены северная и северо-западная стены крепости. Шах-Джахан, прославившийся постройкой Тадж-Махала, родился в Лахорской цитадели и потому был особенно привязан к ней. При нём Ших-кила превращается из фортификационного сооружения в дворцовое. Построенные для Шах-Джахана «зеркальный дворец» и «зал для аудиенций» по пышности декора ничем не уступали дворцовым чертогам в Агре и Дели.
