\u00c7anakkale Martyrs’ Monument, the most visited main visiting point of the Gallipoli Peninsula, is located on Eskihisarl\u0131k Cape. As a result of a project competition, the project prepared by Do\u011fan Erginba\u015f, \u0130smail Utkular and Feridun Kip was selected among 37 projects, and the foundation of the Monument was laid on April 17, 1954. \u00c7anakkale Martyrs’ Monument, which was opened to visitors on August 21, 1960, the 45th anniversary of the Second Anafartalar Victory, symbolizes all our soldiers who were martyred in the Battle of \u00c7anakkale and keeps their memory alive. <\/p>\n\n\n

In the words of its architect Do\u011fan Erginba\u015f, the Monument represents the collective ascension of our martyrs from all geographies to the sky. There are reliefs on his feet reflecting moments of battle. Every year on March 18, commemoration ceremonies are held at the Abide ceremony area by citizens and state officials from all over the country. <\/p>\n\n\n

The symbolic cemeteries located at the back of the monument were opened to visitors in 2007. In the Martyrs’ Cemetery, there are the names of 59,408 martyrs who were martyred during the Battle of \u00c7anakkale and whose names have been identified to date. Again, in front of the symbolic martyrdom, there is a 45 m long relief reflecting the battle period. <\/p>\n\n\n

After passing the relief, in the beginning part of the symbolic martyrdom, there is the tomb of the unknown soldier and a marble inscription with the words Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk said for the allied soldiers in 1934. The skull, which belonged to a Turkish soldier and was said to have been taken to Australia by an Anzac soldier after the Ar\u0131burnu battles, was delivered to Turkey years later on March 10, 2003, and was buried at the current location with an official ceremony on March 18, 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
