Hy steemian,s family .i am come back with a new post .today i tell about some historical places in pakistn.

........Faisal Mosque........

When Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay‘s design was chosen for the Faisal Mosque, many raised their eyebrows. The project differed from traditional mosque architecture, as it featured contemporary, sleek lines and, most notably, lacked a dome. Construction work began in 1976 and was finally completed ten years later. By then, most criticism had crumbled in front of the imposing, captivating building that now dominates Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital city, from its elevated position at the foot of the Margalla Hills. The mosque is named after Faisal bin Abdul-Aziz, the Saudi king who suggested the idea of a national Pakistani mosque, and largely financed its construction. The 5,000-square-meter prayer hall is an eight-sided, concrete structure, inspired by the traditional tents of Bedouins, with a capacity for 100,000 worshippers. It’s surrounded by four 88-metre-high minarets in perfect one-to-one ratio with the base. They were designed as the sides of an imaginary cube, in honor of the sacred, cubic Kaaba found at the centre of Mecca’s most important mosque.

............Minar-e-Pakistan..........
The beautiful Minar-e-Pakistan is one of Pakistan’s most historic monuments! It is open to the public, and was constructed as a tower during the 1960s. The base of Minar-e-Pakistan was where the All-India Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution, on 23rd March 1940, regarding the decision to create Pakistan. It was designed and supervised by Nasreddin Murat-Khan, an architect and engineer .

Mazar e Quaid Situated in Karachi, Mazar-e-Quaid is the tomb of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Established in 1970, the tomb is an iconic representation of the city of Karachi.
