Bab-e-Pakistan, located in the heart of Lahore, is one of Pakistan's most important national monuments. The gateway to Pakistan was built to commemorate the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom from British rule. The majestic architecture and its vastness renders it an inspiring sight. Bab-e-Pakistan stands as a symbol of national pride and is a reminder of the strength and resilience of its people.
The construction started in 1960, when Pakistan's first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan commissioned the project. It took about 9 years for its completion and was inaugurated on 23rd March, 1968 by President Ayub Khan.
The monument has two massive minarets which reach up to a height of 17 stories tall, with their peak standing at around 120 feet high. These minarets are topped by four crescents that are adorned with verses from the Quran as well as inscriptions praising Allah and His Messenger (PBUH).
Inside the monument there are three main chambers: one containing a map of Pakistan depicting its five rivers; another honoring those who sacrificed their lives in the struggle against British colonial rule; and finally, an impressive hall that houses artifacts from all over Pakistan including stone carvings, handmade rugs and calligraphy panels featuring holy verses.
Bab-e-Pakistan is also known for its intricate architectural features such as an array of terraces, galleries, open balconies and a grand dome at its center. The entrance gate consists of two arches that are flanked by two turrets made from yellow sandstone blocks held together with metal bolts painted white .
Its exterior walls display many intricate designs reflecting Mughal architecture while its interior showcases traditional Islamic craftsmanship such as ornate tile work and floral motifs decorating the flooring and walls.
Not only does it evoke feelings of patriotism but also acts as a learning center for those interested in exploring Pakistan's culture through artworks depicting scenes from the nation's history like tribal battles, independence parades and portraits of renowned figures like Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal.
