Minar-i-Pakistan is one of the most important national monuments of the country. The site where the Minar-e-Pakistan is built is the exact place where the historic Pakistan Resolution was passed in 1940. The Minar expresses the spirit of that movement. It is one of the few additions to a conglomeration of old monumental structures that are in Lahore that were mostly built by Mughals. The base of the structure takes the shape of a five point star and is enclosed within crescent shaped pools. The overall height is approximately sixty meters and the entire structure is constructed of reinforced concrete and furbished with stone and marble walls and floors.
The greatest gathering of people at Minar-e-Pakistan was on 30th October, 2011. More than Five Hundred Thousand people came in rally of Pakistan Thareek-e-Insaf (PTI) led by Imran Khan gathering an growing avalanche of support fueling a possibly successful revolution in Pakistan.
