Tomb of Jahangir

The Tomb of Jahangir is a mausoleum created for Mughal Emperor Jahangir and one of the most famous mausoleums in the world, commissioned by his son Emperor Shah Jahan. This magnificent mausoleum may be seen in Lahore, Pakistan.
Inside and out, the Tomb of Jahangir in Pakistan is colorful and beautifully tiled, with artistic frescoes and masonry. The mausoleum is accessed through two huge stone gateways.


A beautiful mosaic depicting Quran verses and flowers decorates the passageway surrounding the monument. After his father's death, Shah Jahan built the mausoleum ten years later. The mausoleum has been proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


The tomb, which was built in the 17th century and is considered one of the most magnificent structures in the country, is encircled by lavish gardens. It is open to the public and is close to the Indian border. Make a point of visiting the adjoining Tomb of Nur Jahan, which holds the remains of Jahangir's wife; it's a lot smaller in scale but still very well painted.
