This 17th century Garden Pavilion (or 'Baraduree') was constructed in the middle of Ali Mardan Khan's garden during the Mughal-era. Ali Mardan Khan was a Mughal ...

Historical, nostalgic and well maintained (recently). A much desired heritage site in this vicinity. Could have become a park but due to the congestion in surrounding areas, it has been made what it could be best done. Hard to believe it's age as it has aged very well. Lives like a monument in its modern looking surroundings however the nearby entrances seem to have taken their ambience from the old khan's villa. A favourite place for photo shoots these days..

Amazing piece of architecture from the 17th century open to public by the archeology department 😍

The Tomb of Ali Mardan Khan (Urdu: مقبرہ علی مردان خان) is a Mughal era tomb in the city of Lahore, Pakistan that was built in the 1630s.[1] The tomb is surrounded by railway property, and located in Mughalpura road (which was earlier known as Vetman Road or Wheatman Road) which is from right from the Grand Trunk Road.[3] Near the railway track on the road is a sign board where "MET-1" is written, beyond which lies the gate through which people can access the tomb, through a passageway.[3] The tomb is now in a semi-ruined state, lacking its decorations, though the main structure is intact. This is in brick with a dome of 42 feet (13 m) in diameter above an octagonal drum with iwans on each side. There are kiosks around the top of the drum. The tomb stands on an octagonal podium, with each side 58 feet (18 m) at the edge. It would have been originally decorated with stone facings and inlays (kashi kari), and fresco paintings, some traces of which remain on the tomb. The two storey gatehouse has retained much more of its decoration; originally there were perhaps four gateways. The tomb would have stood in the centre of a paradise garden as other Mughal tombs do.[3]
