Summit Minar.

Summit Minar in Lahore, Pakistan, is a striking historical landmark dedicated to the second Islamic Summit Conference held in February 1974. Designed by renowned Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay, it stands 155 feet tall in the shape of an obelisk, reminiscent of the Washington Monument and ancient Egyptian architecture. Situated at Faisal Chowk, near the Punjab Assembly, this monument is surrounded by significant colonial-era buildings, contributing to its historical context. The minar features calligraphic inscriptions of “Allāhu ’Akbar” and houses a museum of Islamic antiquities from the summit's attendee nations. Its serene gardens provide a peaceful setting, making it a central hub for cultural events and discussions, underscoring its role in Lahore's social and political landscape.
