The Pakistan Monument has long had a special place in my heart. This tends to be one of the first places I take guests from outside of Islamabad to. CDA has done an excellent job keeping the monument well maintained, and the museum is a nice distraction as well. I wouldnt call this the best view of Islamabad but its up there. The monument itself is just gorgeous. If only we had more monuments like this one.

The Monument is absolutely beautiful and stunning in design and detail. The workers who constructed it have their handprints on the side walls as a token of appreciation. The museum is also good for some background knowledge. Would recommend for a visit with family or friends.

Its a very nice place. The plaques and the details are incredibly informative! The museum is great, but it doesnt really have a lot of attractions. Nonetheless, everyone should visit the place at least once.

I love this place. It is built in the Musharraf period, the Pakistani monument is elegant and consists of four large petals and three small petals. The large petals symbolize the four major provinces of Pakistan, and the small petals symbolize the three territories of Pakistan. There is a small pentagonal monument in front of it. From the top, the crescent moon surrounded by seven petals, the star holding the monument, is the star of the Pakistan flag.

Review №28

Covering a total area of 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres), the design of the monument is rooted in the rich Mughal architecture of the Subcontinent. Its petal shaped structure is derived from the traditional muqarnas of Mughal architecture. As the architect says: We should learn from history but not remain in it. He used todays technology to modernize the historical form of the muqarnas. The resultant petal-shaped structure emphasizes the importance of unity and togetherness of the people of Pakistan. Rather than symbolizing the four provinces (as is mistakenly observed), it represents the four different cultures of the people of Pakistan. The four large petals represent each of the four cultures, the Punjabi, the Balochi, the Sindhi and the Pakhtun. The three smaller petals represent: the Minorities, Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan . All seven petals, though independent of each other, stand together in unison to form the nation of Pakistan. Standing together, they are protecting the star and the crescent of the flag of Pakistan. The star of the flag in the monument is designed in shiny black granite with golden stars, which represent the people who sacrificed their life for Pakistan. The moon crescent is made from stainless steel with inspirational writings of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal. The petals are built of granite (projecting in a suspended cantilever form, among the largest in Asia) and its inner walls are covered with artwork depicting the various landmarks of the Pakistan, such as: Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, Khyber Pass and Minar-e-Pakistan. Other than the Peoples Monument, there is a museum which narrates the history and tells the story of the creation of Pakistan. These two structures are connected by a large piazza, known as the Freedom Plaza. Though the name of the architect–Arif Masoud–is inscribed in stone in the main Dedication Plaque located at the beginning of the main plaza–he has honored all construction workers by placing their hand impressions all along the long walls flanking this Freedom Plaza on both the sides. At the farthest end is a viewing platform which gives a birds-eye view of Islamabad City.

Theres a also a national history museum here. The place is spacious and clean. Theres also a view point here where you can witness the beautiful city of Islamabad.

The monument was really beautiful. There’s different names and hand prints when you walk up the stairs, then on the actual monument they have different drawings that represent Pakistan and some of the most important individuals for the Pakistani history. Its also in a nice tourist-area, there’s some stalls of shops outside and camels, horses. The view is also really beautiful, it was nice seeing such a contrast (the green Islamabad) to the rest of Pakistan I visited. They should have some benches, places to rest here etc. As it can be really draining when it’s hot. A great place to visit.

An architectural masterpiece. Shaped like four petals of an unfolding jasmine (the national flower of Pakistan), the monument represents the federation of Pakistan. Each petal has stone murals depicting cultural and historical heritage of Pakistan. Nearby, is the National Musuem, an Islamabad look-out point, an open-air theater and Shakarparian hill-top - where numerous heads of states have planted trees as per tradition.Take an evening out. Picnic there. Take your kids. Stroll about. Explore the culture and history of Pakistan.Brilliant starting point for foreigners who want to get a sense of Pakistan all in one go.
