Mazar e Quaid, Founder of Pakistan's Mausoleum

Mazar e Quaid is the mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, its stark white modernist marble structure set within landscaped gardens, one of Karachi's most visited landmarks and a site of genuine national significance.

History

Completed in 1970, over two decades after Jinnah's death in 1948, the mausoleum's clean modernist design, a striking white marble structure with no traditional dome, reflects a deliberately forward looking architectural statement for the new nation's founding figure.
