The city is defined by the Capitol Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing the Secretariat, High Court, and symbolic monuments like the Open Hand and Tower of Shadows. Beyond civic architecture, the city features the expansive Zakir Hussain Rose Garden and the repurposed waste-art of Nek Chand’s Rock Garden. The grid-based layout integrates green spaces and cultural institutions, such as the Government Museum and Art Gallery, which houses significant Gandharan sculptures.
