Inside the recently restored Shahi Hammam, Lahore, Pakistan. Built in 1634 during the reign of Shah Jahan, the Shahi Hammam is a bathhouse constructed in the tradition of Persian and Turkish bathing establishments. Despite archeological remains indicating the existence and popularity of smaller bathhouses during the Mughal and Sikh eras, it is the only monumental public bathing house in the Subcontinent that survives from that period. In 2016, the Hammam received the Award of Merit as part of the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation.
