Taq-e Zafar in Paghman Reflects Afghanistan's History, Culture

Taq-e-Zafar is a historical monument from the era of Amanullah Khan, located in the Paghman district of Kabul.

This structure, which represents Afghan culture, was built in the European style by architects from Kandahar and Kabul.

Shafiullah, a resident of Paghman district, said: "In Afghanistan, they suggested building it in every province, and after consultation, it was decided that the monument should be constructed in the province or district with the most martyrs. In terms of provinces, Kabul, and in terms of districts, Paghman, had the most martyrs, so during the time of Amanullah Khan, Taq-e Zafar was built here."

Nematullah, another resident, said: "Taq-e Zafar was built during the Afghan-British war and is a historical monument. People come to visit it and take pictures."

Some residents of Paghman emphasize the importance of this arch, calling it one of the country's historical monuments.

Mohammad Rahim, a resident of Paghman, said: "An arch symbolizes something, and 'Zafar' means victory. This arch represents an achievement and a sign of victory."

The arch has been destroyed several times and later restored and repaired.

The Paghman district is also home to other historical sites.
