Shahi Hamam, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.

Shahi Hamam was originally built around 1634 AD by Hakim Ilmuddin Ansari, the Governor of Lahore during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58 AD). It was designed as a public bath for the travellers as well as the inhabitants of the city. Hakim Ilmuddin Ansari, who was granted the title of Wazir Khan, was also responsible for the construction of the famous mosque The Wazir Khan Mosque inside the Walled City which now bears his name. Shahi Hamam is the only monumental public bath from the Mughal era which still survives in the entire South Asian subcontinent. In 1955,Shahi Hamam was recognised as a cultural asset and declared a protected monument by the Department of Archaeology.
