Menar-e-Pakistan
(also
known
as
Minar-e-Pakistan)
is
a
national
monument
located
in
Lahore,
Pakistan.
It
was
built
to
commemorate
the
resolution
passed
by
the
Muslim
League
on
March
23,
1940,
which
called
for
the
creation
of
an
independent
Muslim
state
in
the
northwestern
regions
of
British
India.
The
monument
was
completed
in
1968,
on
the
23rd
anniversary
of
the
resolution.
The
monument
stands
at
a
height
of
60
meters
(197
feet)
and
is
built
in
the
shape
of
a
five-pointed
star.
It
is
constructed
of
marble,
concrete,
and
steel
and
is
surrounded
by
a
large
park
known
as
Iqbal
Park.
The
park
also
houses
other
historical
landmarks,
including
the
tomb
of
Allama
Iqbal,
a
famous
philosopher
and
poet
who
is
considered
to
be
the
spiritual
father
of
Pakistan.
The
monument
consists
of
a
central
tower,
which
is
surrounded
by
four
minarets
(towers)
representing
the
four
provinces
of
Pakistan
at
the
time
of
its
creation.
The
base
of
the
tower
is
decorated
with
intricate
carvings
and
inscriptions,
including
the
text
of
the
Lahore
Resolution.
The
interior
of
the
tower
contains
a
museum
that
showcases
the
history
of

independence
movement
and
the
struggles
of
the
country's
founding
fathers.
The
museum
also
displays
artifacts
and
documents
related
to
the
independence
movement,
including
photographs,
weapons,
and
other
historical
objects.
Menar-e-Pakistan
is
a
popular
tourist
destination
and
a
symbol
of
national
pride
for
the
people
of
Pakistan.
It
is
a
testament
to
the
determination
and
sacrifice
of
those
who
fought
for
the
creation
of
an
independent
Muslim
state
in
the
region.
The
monument
serves
as
a
reminder
of
the
country's
rich
history
and
the
struggles
that
its
people
