About the building

Built in 1634–35, Wazir Khan Mosque is distinguished by its glazed tilework, frescoes and surrounding urban ensemble. The Government of Punjab and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture have documented phased conservation of the mosque and its historic setting.

The project

Specialist conservation and long-term care of decorated masonry and the mosque ensemble; ask the responsible authorities which phases still need external support.

Sources

Several described phases are completed; the source does not establish a live public fundraising appeal or open volunteer programme.
