Descripción del sitio
Martyr's Monument is a forty meter shell split in two and slightly offset. The shell sits atop a circular platform 190 meters in diameter. Surrounding the platform is an artificial lake. In between the two halves of the shell sits a flame, probably symbolizing the eternal life martyrs attain in Paradise. This monument was created to honor fallen soldiers. Like many of Baghdad's mosques, the shells are covered in blue tiles. Sources:"Baghdad Monuments." GlobalSecurity.org. 1 Dec. 2006. 1 Dec. 2006
