About Delhi Gate

Delhi Gate is one of the surviving historic gates of the Walled City, so named because it faced the road to Delhi. Today it marks the start of the restored Royal Trail (Shahi Guzargah), the processional route that once carried emperors to the Fort.

Passing through it, you step from the modern city into the dense, layered world of old Lahore, bazaars, the Shahi Hammam and Wazir Khan Mosque all lie just beyond.
