Anarkali's Tomb
Anarkali's Tomb is located inside the Punjab Secretariat Compound near Mall Road in Lahore.
The tomb itself is modest and somewhat beat-up. It is in a corner of the archives building, almost easy to miss.
The interesting thing here is not the tomb itself, but the history of Anarkali-- it is advisable to have read or heard a bit of this myth/history before visiting the tomb. The small museum is also worth your time.
Tomb of Jahangir is the mausoleum built for the Mughal Emperor Jahangir who ruled from 1605 to 1627. The mausoleum is located near the town of Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Pakistan. His son Shah Jahan built the mausoleum 10 years after his father's death. It is sited in an attractive walled garden. It has four 30 meter high minarets. The interior is embellished with frescoes and pietra dura inlay and coloured marble. The mausoleum features prominently on the Pakistan Rupees 1,000 denomination bank note.
