National Monument Islamabad

Recently inaugurated monument in Islamabad, Pakistan has been given the status of National monument. After a competition among many renowned architects, Arif Masood’s plan was selected for the design.

The blooming flower represents Pakistan while the four petals of the monument represent the four provinces and the remaining three small petals represent the northern areas, Kashmir and the country’s tribal areas. The star (center) and crescent (along the inner walls of petals) represent the star and crescent on Pakistan's flag.

The Monument has been designed to reflect the culture and civilization of the country and also depicts the story of the Pakistan Movement, dedicated to those who sacrificed themselves for future generations.
