The Alamgiri Darwaza, or Alamgiri Gate, was built under the patronage of Awrangzib (1658-1707). It is situated on the eastern edge of the Lahore Fort, and leads by way of a sharply angled passage, to the large courtyard of the Diwan-i-Amm, the most public area of the fort's administrative areas. The gate is characterized by what some have called a 'softening' of the Mughal style in its later years: the fluted towers flanking it rise out of carved lotus buds, and are topped by small kiosks.
