Çanakkale Martyrs' Memorial

Highlight • Monument

The monument, which is the most visited main point of the Gallipoli Peninsula, is located on the Old Fortress Cape. As a result of a project competition, the project prepared by Doğan Erginbaş, İsmail Utkular and Feridun Kip was selected among 37 projects and the foundation of the monument was laid on April 17, 1954. The Çanakkale Martyrs' Monument, which was opened to visitors on August 21, 1960, the 45th anniversary of the Second Anafartalar Victory, symbolizes and commemorates all the soldiers who were martyred in the Çanakkale Battles. In the words of its architect Doğan Erginbaş, the monument represents the collective ascension of our martyrs from all geographies. On its feet are reliefs reflecting the moments of the battle. Every year on March 18, citizens and dignitaries from all over the country gather at the monument for commemorative ceremonies.

The symbolic cemeteries located at the back of the monument were opened to visitors in 2007. In the cemetery, there are the names of 59,408 martyrs who were martyred during the Çanakkale Battles and whose names have been identified so far. In front of the symbolic martyrdom, there is a 45 meter long relief reflecting the battle period. After passing the relief, at the beginning of the symbolic martyrdom, there is a grave of unknown soldiers and a marble inscription with the words of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk for the Allied soldiers in 1934. The skull of a Turkish soldier, which was said to have been taken to Australia by an Anzac soldier after the battles of Arıburnu, was returned to Turkey on March 10, 2003 and was buried at the present spot with an official ceremony on March 18, 2003.
