In 1641-2, the Shalimar Gardens was constructed by Shah Jahan as a Mughal Garden, layering Persian influences over medieval Islamic Garden traditions, and bearing witness to the pinnacle of Mughal artistic expression. The Mughal Garden is characterized by enclosing walls, a rectilinear layout of paths and features, and large expanses of flowing water. The Shalimar Gardens are located in the heart of Pakistan & spread over 16 hectares. The Mughal Garden is arranged in three terraces descending from the south to the north; enclosed by a crenellated wall of red sandstone, disposes square beds on the upper and lower terraces, intermediate terrace; within, elegant pavilions balance harmoniously arranged poplar and cypress trees, reflected in the vast basins of water. The Shalimar Gardens are a true master piece from the era of the brilliant Mughal civilization and are inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
