The Dushanbe Flagpole (Tajik: Боғи парчами Тоҷикистон, romanized: Boghi parchami Tojikiston) is a free–standing flagpole located in front of the Palace of Nations in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. At 165 metres (541 feet),[1] it was the tallest flagpole in the world from its completion in 2011 until the 2014 erection of the 171 m (561 ft) Jeddah Flagpole.[2][3] It is now the fifth tallest flagpole in the world. It flies a 30 m × 60 m (98 ft × 197 ft) flag of Tajikistan weighing 700 kilograms (1,540 pounds).[4]
