Pakistan’s largest city and Jinnah’s hometown, celebrates his memory and is
home to his tomb, as well as those of his sister and Pakistan’s first prime
minister. The mausoleum’s bold design impresses with its striking yet iconic
simplicity: a nearly cubic base, with an extension of 75 square meters, topped
by a large dome, both clad with splendid white marble. The sanctum can be
entered on any of the four entrances, one on every wall, and each situated under
an eye-catching Moorish arch. Jinnah’s tomb lies on an elevated platform rising
in the middle of the stunning surrounding park, with beautiful moans and a set
of 15 successive fountains that lead the eye towards the mausoleum.
