Walled City of Lahore - The ancient heart of the much larger metropolitan Lahore is part of the Lahore Fort - The Walled city has various gates as entry points like Kashmir Gate, Shah Alam Gate marked in red in the map below. Any central Asian invader who captured would then set his eyes on the densely populated Ganges Plain of India. If Lahore fell India was next target. Alexander's troops refused to go any further around this region.
Today the area inside the walled city is densely pack from the old day's not much changed from medieval times. Attempts are being made to conserve it. This below is example of successful conservation where it's been turned into 'food' street. sort of borrowed from 'Birmingham Balti Triangle'.
Within the Walled Ancient city where everybody would have sought refuge when the invaders came and gates were shut all sort's trades took root. Including the oldest profession and Lahore's infamous Red Light District. You eat, you enjoy Mujra, [ dancing girls ] have a drink or two and then dash, dash, dash and then you need to seek forgiveness for your sins. No problem sir, we have the fantastic Badshai Mosque attached. That's why the city is called 'La Whore' and city of 'culture'.
