The Maqam Echahid (Arabic: مقام الشهيد, Maqāmu š-šahīd, Arabic pronunciation: [maqaːmu ʃːahiːd], English: Martyrs' Memorial) is a concrete monument commemorating the Algerian War. The monument was opened in 1982, on the 20th anniversary of Algeria's independence. It is fashioned in the shape of three standing palm leaves, which shelter the "Eternal Flame" under it. At the edge of each palm leaf is a statue of a soldier representing a stage of Algeria's struggle for independence.[1][2]
