Punjab Walled Cities & Heritage Areas Authority

In 2012, the Government of Punjab established an autonomous body, the Walled City of Lahore Authority (WCLA), for the conservation, preservation, and revitalization of the Walled City of Lahore, its tangible and intangible cultural heritage, while improving the quality of life for its residents.

The Authority has now officially been renamed as the Punjab Walled Cities & Heritage Areas Authority (PWCA). The new name reflects our expanded mandate to preserve, restore, manage, and promote the historic cities, monuments, and heritage areas across Punjab.

While our name has changed, our commitment remains the same—to protect, conserve, and celebrate Punjab’s rich cultural heritage for present and future generations.
