Shahi Masjid

Pakistan


Built by the ul-Mulks near the end of the 19th century. Its pinkish walls and white onion dome make it one of north Pakistan's most distinctive mosques, particularly as its minarets frame Tirich Mir in the far distance. It's usually fine to visit, but ask permission before entering and avoid Friday prayers.
