Pakistan Monument

The story behind the place

Pakistan Monument rises on Shakarparian in Islamabad. Its flower-like form brings sweeping stone petals together around a central space. Carved surfaces add detail to the inside faces, while the open gaps let the sky become part of the outline. Nearby, the Pakistan Monument Museum presents the country’s history and cultural heritage. From a distance, the broad petal shapes are the easiest feature to recognise; up close, the monument invites a slower look at its surfaces.
