Pakistan Monument

The Pakistan Monument is a national monument and heritage museum located on the western Shakarparian Hills in Islamabad, Pakistan. The monument was constructed to symbolize the unity of the Pakistani people. It is dedicated to the people of Pakistan who sacrificed their “today” for a better “tomorrow”.

The monument’s design is rooted in the rich Mughal architecture of the Subcontinent. Its petal-shaped structure is derived from the traditional muqarnas of Mughal architecture. The four large petals represent each of the four main cultures of Pakistan: the Punjabi, the Baloch, the Sindhi, and the Pakhtun. The three smaller petals represent: the minorities, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The monument is visible from across the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area and is a popular tourist destination. It’s a symbol of the strength, unity, and dedication of the people of Pakistan. The monument was inaugurated on 23 March 2007.

The Pakistan Monument Museum is a part of the monument complex. It’s a hub for history and culture, providing insights into the beautiful history of Pakistan. The museum is open from 10:00 to 20:00 from Tuesday to Sunday.
