The Sheesh Mahal (شيش محل), literally "Palace of Mirrors", is one of the most lavish rooms within the Lahore Fort (in present-day Pakistan). The walls and ceiling are covered with small pieces of colored mirror. The Sheesh Mahal was constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631.
Similar well-known rooms called "Sheesh Mahal" are also found in the palace of the Agra Fort, and the Amber Fort near Jaipur, India.
