About Tollinton Market
Tollinton Market, built in 1864, is a fine example of colonial-era functional architecture on the Mall. Originally an exhibition hall and later a market, it has served many roles and now functions as a heritage and cultural venue.
Its long, verandahed form is a characterful stop on any colonial-Lahore walk, right beside the Lahore Museum.
