Chauburji
چوبرجی
The gateway of a Mughal garden built in 1646, with remnants of blue glazed tiles that stand out amid the traffic circling the roundabout.
Chauburji (“Four Towers”) was built in 1646 as the main gate of a Mughal garden and is traditionally linked to Zeb-un-Nissa, daughter of Aurangzeb. The gateway originally had a tower at each of its four corners; the northwest tower collapsed and was later rebuilt. The outer walls retain blue and green glazed tiles and calligraphic inscriptions. The garden itself has vanished, and the gateway now stands in the middle of a traffic roundabout in western Lahore, with the Orange Line metro running on an elevated track nearby. It is a good stop for photos on the way and can be paired with a visit to Data Darbar.
