Al-Shaheed Monument, also known as the Martyr's Memorial, is a prominent landmark in Baghdad, Iraq, dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who died in the Iran-Iraq War. Designed by Iraqi architect Saman Kamal and constructed in 1983, the monument features a 40-meter tall split turquoise dome, symbolizing the loss and suffering of war. The split dome creates an arched opening, representing a tear drop, and sits on a circular platform surrounded by a reflecting pool. Inside, the monument houses an underground museum, library, and gallery that provide insights into Iraq's military history and the sacrifices of its soldiers.
