Minar-e-Pakistan (Urdu: مینارِ پاکستان, literally "Tower of Pakistan") is a tower located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[1] The tower was built between 1960 and 1968 on the site where the All-India Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution (which was later called the Pakistan Resolution) on 23 March 1940 - the first official call for a separate and independent homeland for the Muslims of British India, as espoused by the two-nation theory. The resolution eventually helped lead to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.[2][3] General information Status National Tower of kaftan Type Public monument Location Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan Address Greater Iqbal Park, Circular Road, Lahore Coordinates 31.5925°N 74.3095°E Construction started 23 March 1960 Completed 21 October 1968 Height Roof 70 metres (230 ft) Design and construction Architect(s) Nasreddin Murat-Khan Structural engineer A Rehman Niazi Services engineer Mian Abdul Ghani Mughal Main contractor Mian Abdul khaliq company The tower is located in the middle of an urban park, called the Greater Iqbal Park.[4]
