Shahi Mosque

Chiniot, Pakistan

Shahi Mosque (Punjabi) is a historic 17th century mosque located in Chiniot, Punjab, Pakistan. Constructed between 1646 and 1655, the Mughal Grand Vizier Saadullah Khan is traditionally identified as its builder; accordingly he built the mosque at the place where he had received his education. However, the 17th-century poet Mita Chenabi attributes its construction to Nawab Hifzullah Khan, the son of Saadullah Khan, when he was the deputy-governor of Punjab. It was constructed with the local dark grey stone known as Chinioti stone, and was designed and built by the local architects. It consists of three domes and four minarets.
