The Alamgiri Gate of the Lahore Fort stands as one of the fort’s most iconic and recognizable architectural elements.

The gate was constructed under the orders of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir during the same period as the Badshahi Mosque, specifically in the years 1673–1674 AD.

 It is notably the only structure within the Lahore Fort attributed to Aurangzeb Alamgir and represents the final major addition to the fort during the Mughal era.

It directly faces the eastern entrance of the Badshahi Mosque, with the Hazuri Bagh positioned in between.

This monumental gateway is flanked by two large, boldly fluted semi-circular bastions.

The base of each bastion features a lotus flower design, with its petals aligned with the grooves of the fluting above

The tops of the bastions are adorned with pointed merlons and crenels.

 Each bastion is crowned with a chhatri—an octagonal, domed pavilion that reflects the baradari style.

The central feature of the Alamgiri Gate is its large arched entrance, designed to accommodate the emperor's elephant-mounted caravan

The Alamgiri gate remains one of the most recognizable and photographed features of Lahore Fort
