This article needs some correction. The Lahore fort was not built by Shah Jehan, Shah Jahan just contributed in its maintenance and built a few buildings in it. The fort has history of hundred year before Shah Jahan. It was Akber who rebuilt it with solid brick and extended it as it stands now. For reference see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahore_Fort
