About Şehitlik Meydanı

Sehitlik Meydani is the martyrs memorial square of Torbali, on the corner of Dogan Bursalioglu Caddesi and 3548 Sokak in Muratbey Mahallesi. The memorial was built in 2006, and the official ceremonies on days of remembrance for fallen soldiers are held in front of it. At the front stands a rectangular marble platform carrying the inscription Onlar analarinin gonca gulleri, babalarinin koc yigitleri, topped by a statue of a Turkish soldier holding a flag. Behind the statue rises a marble tower about five metres tall in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The area behind the memorial is landscaped as a small park.
