    Historical places of Pakistan Minar-e-Pakistan: • Minar-e-Pakistan (or Yadgaar-e-Pakistan ) is a tall minaret in Iqbal Park Lahore, built in commemoration of the Lahore Resolution. • The minaret reflects a blend of Mughal and modern architecture, and is constructed on the site where on March 23, 1940, seven years before the formation of Pakistan, the Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution (Qarardad-e-Lahore ), demanding the creation of Pakistan. • The large public space around the monument is commonly used for political and public meetings, whereas Iqbal Park area is ever so popular among kite- flyers. • The tower rises about 60 meters on the base, thus the total height of minaret is about 62 meters above the ground. • The unfolding petals of the flower-like base are 9 meters high. The diameter of the tower is about 97.5 meters (320 feet). Badshahi Mosque: or the 'Emperor's Mosque', was ,( د ه :The Badshahi Mosque (Urdu • built in 1673 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Lahore, Pakistan. • It is one of the city's best known landmarks, and a major tourist attraction epitomising the beauty and grandeur of the Mughal era. • Capable of accommodating over 55,000 worshipers. • It is the second largest mosque in Pakistan, after the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. • The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, Emperor Shah Jahan. • The Imam-e-Kaaba (Sheikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Sudais of Saudi Arabia) has also led prayers in this mosque in 2007.

  • Conservation of Historic Monuments in Lahore: Lessons from Successes and Failures
    Pak. J. Engg. & Appl. Sci. Vol. 8, Jan., 2011 (p. 61-69) Conservation of Historic Monuments in Lahore: Lessons from Successes and Failures 1 Abdul Rehman 1 Department of Architecture, University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore Abstract A number of conservation projects including World Heritage sites are underway in Lahore Pakistan. The most important concern for conservation of these monuments is to maintain authenticity in all aspects. Although we conserve, preserve and restore monuments we often neglect the aspects of authenticity from different angles. The paper will focus on three case studies built around 1640’s namely Shalamar garden, Shish Mahal and Jahangir’s tomb. The first two sites are included in the World Heritage List while the third one is a national monument and has a potential of being included in the world heritage list. Each one of these monument has a special quality of design and decorative finishes and its own peculiar conservation problems which need innovative solutions. The proposed paper will briefly discuss the history of architecture of these monuments, their conservation problems, and techniques adopted to revive them to the original glory. To what degree the government is successful in undertaking authentic conservation and restoration is examined. The paper draws conclusions with respect to successes and failures in these projects and sees to what degree the objectives of authenticity have been achieved. Key Words: Authenticity, World Heritage sites, Mughal period monuments, conservation in Lahore, role International agencies 1. Introduction 2. Authenticity and Conservation Lahore, cultural capital of Pakistan, is one of the Authentic conservation needs research most important centers of architecture (Figure 1) documentation and commitment for excellence.

  • Mughal Kings and Kingdoms From
    Mughal Kings and Kingdoms from http://www.oxfordartonline.com Dynasty of Central Asian origin that ruled portions of the Indian subcontinent from 1526 to 1857. The patronage of the Mughal emperors had a significant impact on the development of architecture, painting and a variety of other arts. The Mughal dynasty was founded by Babur (reg 1526–30), a prince descended from Timur and Chingiz Khan. Having lost his Central Asian kingdom of Ferghana, Babur conquered Kabul and then in 1526 Delhi (see Delhi, §I). He was a collector of books and his interests in art are apparent in his memoirs, the Bāburnāma, written in Chagatay Turkish. Babur built palace pavilions and laid out gardens. The latter, divided into four parts by water courses (Ind.-Pers. chār-bāgh, a four-plot garden), became a model for subsequent Mughal gardens. Babur was succeeded by Humayun (reg 1530–40, 1555–6), who initiated a number of building projects, most notably the Purana Qila‛ in Delhi. Sher Shah usurped the throne and drove Humayun into exile in 1540. During the Sur (ii) interregnum, Humayun travelled to Iran where he was able to attract a number of Safavid court artists to his service. In 1545 he re-established Mughal power in the subcontinent with the capture of Kabul, which was the centre of Humayun’s court until he took Delhi in 1555. Little is known of the Kabul period, but painters from Iran arrived there, and apparently some manuscripts were produced. Humayun died in 1556, shortly after his return to Delhi. Akbar (reg 1556–1605) inherited a small and precarious kingdom, but by the time of his death in 1605 it had been transformed into a vast empire stretching from Kabul to the Deccan.
