National Martyrs' Cemetery of Albania

The National Martyrs' Cemetery of Albania (Albanian: Varrezat e Dëshmorëve të Kombit) is the largest cemetery in Albania, located on a hill overlooking Tirana.

It figuratively represents the country as a mother guarding over the eternal slumber of those who gave their lives for her.

The statue is made of concrete and it is a work of the sculptors Kristaq Rama, Muntaz Dhrami and Shaban Hadëri.
