Once walled and contained within thirteen gates, the city of Lahore has
now expanded into a mega city with a population count of nearly ten
million. This historic city has been an important seat of power in different
eras. It was the capital city for the Ghaznavids rule in the 12th century;
for the Mughals in the 16th century; the Sikhs in the 19th century and the
regional capital during the British rule in the 19th and the 20th centuries.
