Islamic Summit Minar, Monument and obelisk at Charing Cross, Mall Road in Lahore, Pakistan.
The Islamic Summit Minar stands 47 meters tall, featuring a narrow obelisk structure accompanied by a reflecting pool in front of the Punjab Assembly Building.
The monument was constructed in 1974 to mark the second Islamic Summit Conference, which gathered representatives from thirty-eight Muslim nations during the global oil crisis.
The underground museum displays art pieces, paintings, and diplomatic gifts from participating Islamic nations, along with a Quran written in gold leaves.
The site contains meeting rooms and an auditorium for public functions, though access remains restricted due to current security measures in the area.
Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay designed this national structure, which required 20 months to complete at a cost of 15 million Pakistani rupees.
