Delhi Gate or Delhi Darwaza is one of the 13 gates of the ancient Walled City of Lahore. It is one of six remaining historic gates of the Walled City of Lahore. It was built during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1600s. Akbar had built thirteen gates around the city connected with a 30 feet high fortified wall. This gate was most important out of all the gates because the Mughals and Royal used it as the main gateway while travelling from Delhi to Lahore Fort and its doors were shut every evening.
The straight passage leading to Lahore Fort from this gate came to be known as Royal Trail or Shahi Guzargah. The surrounding area includes several buildings of historical significance including the 17th century Wazir Khan Mosque, Shahi Hammam, and havelis. Delhi Gate and the adjacent Shahi Hammam were restored in 2015 by the Aga Khan Cultural Service Pakistan.
