Quaide E Azam Residency (Ziarat) Tourism

Quaide E Azam Residency, also known as Ziarat Residency, is an iconic historical site located in the Ziarat district of Quetta, in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. Surrounded by lush lawns and set amidst a backdrop of evergreen juniper trees, the residency exudes an aura of tranquility and significance. Built in 1892 during the British colonial era, the wooden structure served as a sanatorium before it became the summer residence of the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, during his last illness. The residency is revered as a monument to Jinnah’s struggle for independence and is preserved as a national heritage site. Despite an attack in 2013 which extensively damaged the building, it has been restored to its original state. The architectural design reflects the Victorian-era style with beautifully crafted wooden features. Visitors can explore the various rooms, the historic furniture, and personal belongings of Jinnah that are on display, transporting them back to a pivotal moment in Pakistan's history.
