Heroes' Acre (Namibia)

Built into the uninhabited hills 10 kilometres (6 mi) south of the city centre of Windhoek, Heroes' Acre opened on 26 August 2002.

[2] In February 2024, Namibia laid its President Hage Gottfried Geingob (1941-2024) to rest in one of the mausoleum located at the monument.

It is built as a symmetric polygon with a marble obelisk and a bronze statue of the Unknown Soldier at its centre.

[3] The non-transparent contracting of foreign manual labour has been criticised by corruption watchdog insight Namibia.

The statue of the Unknown Soldier resembles the physical features of Sam Nujoma,[3] Namibia's founding president and ultimately the initiator of its erection.
