Minar-e-Pakistan
مینار پاکستان
A 70-meter white tower commemorating the 1940 'Lahore Resolution,' standing in Greater Iqbal Park. It is a symbol of Pakistan's founding.
The Minar-e-Pakistan was built between 1960 and 1968. It stands about 70 meters tall, with a base that opens like a flower. Inscribed on it are the Lahore Resolution and documents about the nation's founding. The site is where the All-India Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution in 1940. The surrounding Greater Iqbal Park has been expanded and includes a musical fountain, walking paths, and lawns. Local families gather here in the evening. The elevator to the top is usually closed to the public. The tower is separated from the Badshahi Mosque by only a ring road, and you can walk there using a footbridge. Crowds are large on holidays, so keep an eye on your belongings.
