The Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan, is famous for
its extensive faience tile work. It has been described as a mole
on the cheek of Lahore. It was built in seven years, starting
around 1634 ,1635 AD, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor
Shah Jehan. It was built by Hakim Shaikh Ilm ud din Ansari, a
native of Chiniot, who rose to be the court physician to Shah
Jahan and a governor of Lahore. He was commonly known as
Wazir Khan, a popular title bestowed upon him (the word Wazir
means minister in Urdu and Persian). The mosque is inside
the Inner City and is easiest accessed from Delhi Gate. The
mosque contains some of the finest examples of Qashani tile
work from the Mughal period.
