The Tomb of Jahangir is another 17th-century mausoleum built for the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The mausoleum dates back to 1637, and is located in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. The place is famous for its interiors that are intricately designed with frescoes and marble, and its exterior is richly decorated with pietra dura. The tomb is also part of an ensemble currently on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status.
The tomb is located in Shahdara Bagh, northwest of the Walled City of Lahore, across the River Ravi from Lahore. The tomb is situated in Jahangir’s pleasure garden, the Dilkusha Garden, which was laid out in 1557. The Tomb of Asif Khan, built in 1645, and the Akbari Sarai, built-in 1637, are located immediately west of Jahangir’s tomb complex, and the three form an ensemble oriented on an east-west axis. The last of the Shahdara Bagh monuments, the tomb of Jahangir’s wife Nur Jahan is located slightly southwest of Asif Khan’s tomb. The tomb can be visited any day from 9 am to 7 pm.
