The response to our ATP Photo Quiz on the Churches of Pakistan was heartening. Many of the church buildings we featured were guessed right. Some were not. It is time now to reveal the correct answers; at least some will surprise you.
First, however, let me share with you (above) this addition drawing – an engraving from March 1880, published in the Graphic – of the Cathedral in Lahore. I thought this was an impressive drawing of an impressive building and worth adding to our collection of more contemporary photographs featured in our Quiz.
Coming to the fifteen photographs in the ATP Photo-Quiz from last week, here are the correct answers (clicking on any photograph will take you to a larger image and details, where available).
(1) Rawalpindi: St. Joseph’s Hospice; (2) Lahore: St. Anthony’s Church;
(3) Murree: Anglican Church.

[…] Like Adil’s earlier post on Fall Foliage in Pakistan, I think this could have been easily confused with a picture of an old lighthouse flanked by the church as being from Europe or North America; but much like the foliage, it is very much in Pakistan. But where? […]
great post and beautiful churches……
Very nice. Learnt so much. I am fascinated by these pictures and will certainly explore the churches of Pakistan more. In Lahore and also elsewhere.
i was right for the rawalpindi one but i thout the top three are in rawalpindi.
Yes, am surprised. I am most intrigued by the newer churches at the end. Even architecturally very different from the earlier ones. I guess he early ones are grand because they were built with all the might of teh colonial empire behind them. The newer ones are built by a minority that has been under stress.
