My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

This WHS, located in the province of Punjab, is composed of two royal complexes. The first is the Lahore Fort, which was built over 13th – 15 century CE by several Mughal emperors, including Shah Jahan, which contains within its grounds twenty-one monuments, as well as Shalamar Gardens (1641 – 42CE), a prime exemplar of Mughal gardens. Together, they manifest the brilliance of the Mughal Empire, which reached its height under Shah Jahan (1592 – 1666CE, reigned: 1628 – 58CE).
