Mughal era Shahi Hammam stands out in its urban fabric with its precolonial features inspired by Persian and Turkish influences. It was subjected to encroachments due to its central location in walled city of Lahore. The structure has gone through many changes especially it being reused over the years as boy’s primary school then it was converted into a girl’s vocational school. From 2013-2015, the Hammam was carefully restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
