The Naulakha Pavilion is a white marble personal chamber with a curvilinear roof, built in 1633 within the northern section of Lahore Fort in Pakistan. This Mughal structure, originally positioned beside the Sheesh Mahal courtyard, was once inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones and commanded views of the Ravi River. One of twenty-one monuments within the fort complex, it became part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site designation in 1981. The pavilion's western façade offers panoramic vistas of historic Lahore and has left such a distinctive architectural mark that it influenced the design of the Pakistani embassy in Washington, D.C., establishing it as one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
