Pakistan is a country with an ancient history. Many ancient structures that have survived to our days remind us of this. Many modern buildings are also considered cultural attractions, despite their young age. The Shah Faisal Mosque vaguely resembles a center for contemporary art. The mosque, built at the expense of the rulers of Saudi Arabia and donated to Islamabad, exceeds the size of all Muslim temples in Asia. It was named after King Faisal, who was assassinated in 1975. Not only is the building, which made of marble and concrete, unique. The place that was chosen for the construction of a religious Shrine also deserves attention. Amazing landscapes open to visitors.
