It cannot be said with certainty when the Lahore Fort was originally constructed or by whom, since this information is lost to history, possibly forever. However, evidence found in archaeological digs gives strong indications that it was built long before 1025 AD.Once destroyed by Mongols & alos ruled by Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi but
1566 AD - Rebuilt by Mughal emperor Akbar
1618 AD - Jehangir
1631-33-45 AD - Shahjahan
1674 AD - Aurangzeb
