Its story
The Martyrs' Memorial rises on Hisarlık Tepe at the southern tip of the peninsula, overlooking Morto Bay. The monument, shaped as a concrete slab resting on four legs, was designed by Doğan Erginbaş, İsmail Utkular and Feridun Kip; its foundation was laid in 1954 and it opened to visitors in 1960. Around it are a symbolic martyrs' cemetery, a Turkish garden and various monuments. Every year on March 18 the commemorations of the naval victory are held here. From the hill there is a wide view of the entrance to the Strait and the Anatolian shore.
