Minar-e-Pakistan, National monument in Lahore, Pakistan.
The concrete tower rises 62 meters high with a flower-shaped base and features a combination of Islamic and Mughal architectural elements throughout its structure.
Construction of the monument began in March 1960 and concluded in October 1968, marking the location where the Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution in 1940.
The tower incorporates inscriptions of the Lahore Resolution in multiple languages, Quranic verses, and speeches by Muhammad Ali Jinnah on its commemorative plaques.
Visitors can reach the observation platform at the top using either stairs or an elevator, offering views across the Greater Iqbal Park and Lahore city.
The tower's construction used different types of stones at each level, from uncut stones at the base to polished marble at the top, representing stages of independence.
