The Martyrs' Memorial in Algiers, opened in 1982 to mark the 20th anniversary of Algeria's war of independence, stands as a powerful symbol of the nation's struggle for freedom from French colonial rule. The monument, rising 302 feet tall, is made up of three towering "palm leaves," with a statue of an Algerian soldier at the base of each. At the center, an eternal flame burns, symbolizing the sacrifice made for independence. Situated on a hill that was once a military fort, the memorial offers panoramic views of Algiers' coastline. Visitors can also explore the nearby military museum, which provides further insight into Algeria's complex history with France.

A must visit place at the heart of Algiers. Unfortunately, inside is mostly closed, but the surrounding square gives a great view of the longest tower in the heart ode the Algerian capital. Worth it

As simple as it is, it is a perfect 5 stars, beautiful place and such family-friendly, the museum down there is a masterpiece! I loved reliving the history of my country, if you are a tourist, i recomend you to visit this place and specially the museum, relive the algerian culture. Just one note, i don't understand why there is "no taking pictures" rule.

View of Algiers is great. You can take the car cable which cost few dinars 50 per person. Highly recommended.

This place is really impressive and there are some brilliant views across the botanical gardens, city and coast. There is a large area with cafes and shops that gives the best views of the memorial. You can only get to certain bits but its impressive from every angle. If you are going in to Algiers, this is one place you should visit.
