Which Lahore monument commemorates the Pakistan Resolution of 1940?

The Lahore monument commemorating the Pakistan Resolution of 1940 is Minar-e-Pakistan.

Minar-e-Pakistan is a monumental tower in Greater Iqbal Park, Lahore, built on the site where the All-India Muslim League adopted the Lahore Resolution on 23 March 1940. That resolution called for independent states for the Muslim-majority regions of British India and was later widely known as the Pakistan Resolution. It became a major milestone on the path to Pakistan’s creation in 1947.

The tower was designed by architect Nasreddin Murat-Khan and constructed between 1960 and 1968. Its design combines reinforced concrete with marble and stone, and its structure incorporates elements associated with Islamic, Mughal, and modern architectural traditions. The monument’s broad base and rising tower make it one of Lahore’s most recognizable national landmarks.

The date 23 March has lasting national importance: it marks both the 1940 Lahore Resolution and Pakistan Day, commemorated annually. Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, and the Shalimar Gardens are also major Lahore landmarks, but they belong to the city’s Mughal heritage and do not commemorate the 1940 political resolution.
