I am not really sure about Lahore, but the Lahore fort was already there before muslim invasions. They just destroyed and rebuilt it again, pretty much as how US does these days I believe.

Again Wiki uncle helps

The origins of Lahore Fort are obscure and are traditionally based on various myths.However, during the excavation carried out in 1959 by the Department of Archaeology, in front of Diwan-e-Aam, a gold coin of Mahmood of Ghazni dated AH 416 (1025 AD) was found at a depth of 7.62 metres from the level of the lawns. Cultural layers continued to a further depth of 5 metres,** giving strong indications that people had lived here long before the conquest of Lahore by Mahmood in 1021 AD**. Further mention of the fort is traceable to Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Ghuri’s successive invasions of Lahore from 1180 to 1186 AD.
