The Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA) hosted its monthly guided tour of historic havelis in the Walled City, highlighting the region’s rich architectural and cultural heritage.
The tour featured visits to iconic landmarks, including Mubarak Haveli, Haveli Wajid Ali Shah, Papar Mandi Bazaar, Noori Building, Haveli Nau Nehal Singh, Naqsh School of Arts, Fakir Khana Museum, Haveli Awais Mir, and Haveli Barood Khana.
Participants also enjoyed cultural performances, a Rangeela Rickshaw Ride, and refreshments as part of the experience.
The event attracted approximately 150 tourists, reflecting a growing public interest in Lahore’s cultural history. WCLA has now made this tour a regular monthly event.
Asghar Hussain, Deputy Director of WCLA Tourism, commented, “The old havelis represent a crucial aspect of the city’s architectural heritage. They provide insights into traditional lifestyles and the social structures of the past. Unlike structures built by rulers, these historic homes were shaped by everyday people, embodying the unique architectural identity of the old city. WCLA is committed to preserving and promoting this heritage for public appreciation.”
