Pakistan Monument
Islamabad, Pakistan · built 2007
The Pakistan Monument (Urdu, Yādgār-e-Pākistān) is a national monument and heritage museum located on the western portion of the Shakarparian Hills in Islamabad, Pakistan. The monument was constructed to symbolize the unity of the Pakistani people; and is dedicated to those who sacrificed their "today" for a better "tomorrow". The four large petals represent the four major cultures of Pakistan – Punjabi, Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun – with the three smaller petals representing the minor cultures, including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. All seven petals converge in unison over the central platform. Its elevation makes the monument visible from across the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area and is a popular tourist destination.
