Alhamra Art Center - The Alhamra Arts Council, also known as Alhamra Hall, Alhamra Cultural Complex, Alhamra Art Gallery, and Lahore Arts Council, was designed by Nayyar Ali Dada and completed in 1992.

The Alhamra Arts Council is situated on a colonial-era road in Lahore, Pakistan, formerly known as Mall Road and now renamed Shahrah Quaid-e-Azam. The arts complex originated from an initial commission for Nayyar Ali Dada to design a 1000-seat auditorium for the Alhamra Arts Council (AAC), of which he was a member. The government granted the site to the AAC shortly after independence, and the council had primarily held outdoor performances. The auditorium, completed in 1979, replaced some temporary structures.
