PAKISTAN MONUMENT, ZERO POINT, ISLAMABAD EXPRESSWAY |DRONE VIDEO| 4K

The Pakistan Monument is a national monument in Islamabad that is shaped like a petal. It is situated in the western Shakarparian Hills and the best place to visit in Islamabad. The magnificent Monument was erected to reflect Pakistanis’ unity and patriotism. It also honors the martyrs who laid down their lives for the sake of our country and its people.

The majestic dome-shaped Monument’s architecture represents our history, culture, and heritage. Due to its picturesque location and unique architecture, it is one of Islamabad’s most popular tourist destinations. Moreover, it can be seen from the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi due to their high elevation. Therefore, it offers an insight into Pakistani’s beautiful history and helps one observe and focus on the city of Islamabad.

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf suggested building a national monument in Islamabad in 2002. President Musharraf tasked the Ministry of Culture with collaborating with the Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners to organize a design competition for the landmark after the foundation stone was laid in 2004.

The theme and concept represented Pakistan’s resilience, unity, and commitment. Twenty-one different architects from all over Pakistan submitted plans, and the council selected three to be considered. Finally, Mr. Arif Masoud was entrusted with the task of creating the Pakistan Monument.

The magnificent Pakistan Monument was completed in 2006 under the supervision of Engineer Syed Mahmud Khalid. The inauguration ceremony took place on March 23, 2007, and the Pakistan Monument was opened to the public.
The Monument is constructed on approximately 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres) of land, and its design is influenced by Mughal architecture – the dome-shaped structure is modeled after Mughal muqarnas. However, as a refined and modernized version of the Mughal muqarnas, what we see in the landmark is a blend of history and technology.

The Monument’s architecture symbolizes Pakistani unity and solidarity. The memorial and the museum are the two main buildings. The four central petals reflect Pakistan’s various provinces and cultures: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. On the other hand, the smaller petals reflect the minorities of Gilgit Baltistan, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir.
