Badshahi mosque is one of the few significant architectural monuments built during Emperor Aurangzeb’s reign. It is presently the fifth largest mosque in the world. The mosque was built late during the decline of the Mughal era, however, its beauty, elegance, and scale picture Mughal cultural achievement like no other monument in Lahore. The mosque is known for its exceptional and extraordinary size which was visible from even ten miles away. The embellishing interior and exterior, along with four octagonal three-story minarets, make the view even more astonishing. The mosque is open for visitors from 8 am–8 pm every day.
