| Location | Lahore, Pakistan |
Iqbal Park (formerly Minto Park) is large area of green space, located at the heart of Lahore city in Pakistan.[3] The park accommodates Minar-e-Pakistan (Lighthouse of Pakistan), a 60 meters (198.5 feet) tall distinctive monument in the shape of a minaret that has been built in commemoration of the Lahore Resolution passed at the three-day general session (22–24 March 1940) of All India Muslim League, calling for greater Muslim autonomy in British India. The resolution became synonymous to the demand for a separate Muslim state of Pakistan. The park has been expanded in May 2014. It has become a major tourist attration because it now includes important landmarks, buildings and monuments like Badshahi Mosque, Minar-e-Pakistan, Lahore Fort, Hazuri Bagh, Tomb of Muhammad Iqbal, Samadhi of Ranjit Singh, Roshnai Gate and Hazuri Bagh Baradari. These are now part of park as well . More than 93 acres land has been added to the area of the park during expansion. Minar-e-Pakistan provides a panoramic view to visitors who can climb up the stairs or through an elevator. The park also includes marble fountains, lush green lawns, gardens and an artificial lake.
