LAHORE — Nazrana Times Ali Imran Chattha 
The Punjab Walled Cities and Heritage Areas Authority (PWCA), with support from the Human Rights and Minority Affairs Department, Government of Punjab, has completed the restoration and architectural illumination of the historic St. Mary Magdalene Church in Lahore Cantt.
Established in 1857, the church is a notable Gothic landmark reflecting Lahore’s colonial-era architectural and religious heritage.
