Delhi Gate
دہلی دروازہ
The most famous of the thirteen gates of the old city, and the starting point of the Royal Trail leading to the fort. Markets bustle just inside the gate.
Delhi Gate is named because it faces Delhi. During the Mughal period, it was the main gate into Lahore. The surviving gatehouse was rebuilt during the British period. Inside the gate lies the Shahi Hammam. Walking west along the Royal Trail (Shahi Guzargah), you pass in turn Wazir Khan Mosque, Sunehri Masjid, and Kashmiri Bazaar, and finally reach the Lahore Fort. A small exhibition is housed in the gatehouse. Around it are wholesale markets selling spices, fabrics, and wedding supplies. The Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA) offers paid guided tours of the trail. Foot traffic is busiest in the evening.
