Lohari Gate

Pakistan

The Lahori Gate, also known as Lohari Gate, is one of the 13 gates located within the Walled City of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Lahori Gate or Lohari gate is one of the oldest gates of the old city. According to some historians, the old city of Lahore was originally located near Ichhra, and this gate opened towards that side. Hence the name, Lahori gate. The other name Lohar means blacksmith in Urdu language. This gate was named after the Lohar (blacksmith) community of craftsmen who made objects primarily from iron or steel. This could also be another reason behind naming it this way.
