Wazir Khan Chowk

The Wazir Khan Chowk (Urdu: وزیر خان چوک) is a town square located in the Walled City of Lahore, in Punjab, Pakistan.

[1] In 2012, the Pilot Urban Conservation and Infrastructure Improvement Project—the Shahi Guzargah Project was launched by the Government of Punjab, and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) which restored a section of Shahi Guzargah that included the Wazir Khan Chowk.

[1] Prior to completion of the project's first phase, the square had been encroached upon by illegally erected shops which blocked off the view of much of the mosque from the surrounding neighborhood.

Wazir Khan Chowk was extensively rehabilitated by removal of 73 illegally constructed buildings, while the well of Dina Nath was also restored.

[2] Shopkeepers who have occupied hujras, or cells in the mosque designed for religious study, will also be removed, while two historic homes will also be restored.

The Well of Dina Nath was restored in partnership with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture .
