The Pakistan Monument in Islamabad

We’ve been back in Islamabad for a few days now and took the opportunity to explore some of the city’s highlights, including the Pakistan Monument. It was built to honor the sacrifices made for Pakistan’s independence. Quite impressive! Petal Symbolism – the larger petals represent Pakistan’s major cultural regions: Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Paktunkhwa. The smaller petals honor Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and the former Tribal Areas. Symbolizing unity, strength, and national pride.
