Masjid Wazir Khan, Lahore Pakistan

Once attributed as a mole on the face of Lahore, this masjid is still unique in its kind.

Masjid Wazir Khan is famous for its extensive faience tile work. Built in seven years, starting around 1634–1635 AD, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan. It was built by Hakim Shaikh Ilm-ud-din Ansari, a native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah Jahan and a governor of Lahore. (from wikipedia)

I had a visit to this masjid last month and was just stunned when I saw its design and artwork. For me it’s far more beautiful than the Badshahi Masjid of Lahore. You can view the full album at the link below.
