Imperial District
The Imperial District (Sikānohi: شھانشاھی موھلہ) is the oldest and most important district in the city of Shahdara, but only following the expansions of the middles ages did the district emerge in the way most see it now. The neighbourhood houses the entire Shahdara Fortress complex – where the Emperor and the imperial family reside – along with the residences of the junior members of the wider imperial clan, as well as the houses and mansions of the Sikandari nobility.
