Very beautiful landmark of Baghdad, full of history. This war memorial evokes light. It’s a gorgeous sky blue set against white. You can’t quite understand the magnitude of how big and beautiful it is until you are up-close. It’s not the same as from a car. Downstairs there is a small memorial museum and the etchings of the names of those fallen.

is a monument designed by Iraqi sculptor, Ismail Fatah Al Turk, and is situated in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It is dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who died in the Iran–Iraq War. However, now it is generally considered by Iraqis to be a commemoration of all of Iraq's martyrs. It’s one of the best places for capturing photos

No words can describe the greatness of this monument , visiting hours 8AM-3PM

It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful monuments in Baghdad , try to be there in the morning because they close early. And bring a camera for a lovely picture

Martyr Monument is one of the most prominent architectural landmarks in Baghdad. It is designed by the Iraqi architect Saman Asaad Kamal and the dome designed by the Iraqi plastic artist Ismail Fattah Turk. The genius of design lies in the visual illusion of the monument on a wide open ground. The car passes around the monument. The two sides of the dome seem to be closed at the beginning of the street and begin to move away from one another as if a gate opens in front of it. When the visitor enters the site of the monument, he observes that this thing is to me, which rises to the top as an embodiment of the elevation of the spirit of martyr to heaven. Inscription inside the monument

Beautiful but closed - can’t see much. Will open in 6 months they said

Stunning. It's a landmark that you can't miss when in Baghdad. One of the most iconic structures within the region. It also houses a museum directly under it (though it isn't always open?). There structure has become home to many birds that nest under the shaded area bellow. It's actually beautiful to see and admire 🙏🏻💕

Amazing place to visit depicting history of middleast war, Martyr's Memorial is built to commemorate the martyr’s of war. We visited post afternoon and enjoyed lone sunset.

Beautiful place. Unfortunately it’s close between October 2023 until approximately april 2024 for renovations

As an architect who has travelled all over the world, this monument is unlike anything I've ever seen. Simple, elegant, and a bit monolithic. Way ahead of its time.

The biggest part of our memory, them made us better for Discover life

Must see in Baghdad! Including the museum underneath the monument. Breath taking. It’s 3000 Iraqi Dinar each on the door to enter the Nasb Al-Shaheed (the Martyr Monument).

A monument designed by sculptor Iraqi Ismail Fettah Turk in 1983 and is located in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad in the Rusafa side of Baghdad. Built this monument in memory of Iraqi soldiers killed in the Iran-Iraq war. However, Iraqis today are generally considered to commemorate all the martyrs of Iraq

A great place to visit in Baghdad. The monument was originally dedicated to the victims of the Iran-Iraq but now represents the loss of subsequent conflicts. Free entry and a museum on the bottom floor. It’s easy to get some alone time there during certain times of the week.

I missed this place in the Iraq trip, February 2022, but I recommend to visit it in your 2nd or 3rd priorities, some angle and colors are nice to take some photos.

The place is great and really worth a visit!The thing that prevented me from giving five stars is the presence of a government department in the same building, which caused crowding at the entrance to the museum!

It’s beautiful from a distance. however you cant reach the monument for the next 6 months due to construction

Having only driven by here and never visited on foot, I can say that it is a beautiful area even with the mad looks from the local population. I'm not sure why they were angry because the traffic wasn't bad and we only drew gunfire every few trips. Sure, there were IEDs but don't let that deter you from a scenic desert oasis.

Al-Shaheed Monument also known as the Martyr's Memorial, is a monument designed by Iraqi sculptor, Ismail Fatah Al Turk, and is situated in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. It is dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who died in the Iran–Iraq War. However, now it is generally considered by Iraqis to be a commemoration of all of Iraq's martyrs not just of the Iran–Iraq War, Al-Shaheed was constructed in Baghdad's Rusafa, and this monument is one of three monuments that were built to remember Iraq's pain and suffering as a consequence of the eight-year war. The first of these structures was The Monument to the Unknown Soldier (1982); followed by Al-Shaheed (1983) and finally the Victory Arch (1989). The three monuments form a visual and metaphorical unit. Designed by the Iraqi sculptor and artist, Ismail Fatah Al Turk

Historic and Symbolic, it had a special presence in Baghdad modern art and architecture history.

Would have gave 5 stars, but too much disturbing stuff in the museum.

It is my first time to visit this great landmark..I did not expect it to be of this beauty and splendor..Entry is 3000 Iraqi dinars..There is a parking lot and a lake, as well as a large museum

Impressive monument, beautiful place to take pictures. There is also a museum underneath the monument. Definitely worth to visit when in Baghdad.

A place worth visiting, and there is a very beautiful museum inside the grounds

The color and design of this Monument is stunning. It's a beautiful place of gathering and remembrance.

An amazing monument with a lot of beautiful details and more meaningful cause

One of the famous places in iraq and Baghdad

One of the most beautiful and graceful monuments..had the opportunity to work on a project nearby for 3 years and this place was a great place to visit for relieving the stress of work on weekend..(period 1984-87).

One of the most iconic monuments in Iraq and possibly in the world. It commemorates those who died to defend the country

One of the greatest icons of baghdad and iraq, unfortunately it needs a lots of care, dirty, needs more attention and renovation.
