The military section was designed and landscaped by two Hungarian-born architects, Asher Hiram and Haim Giladi.

The winner was Joseph Klarwein's design, consisting of an unadorned black granite stone inscribed with the name Herzl.

The design of the cemetery area was continued over the following years when other famous people from the Zionist movement were brought to be buried there.

Other notable graves are those of the first speaker of the Knesset, Yosef Sprinzak and his wife Hanna, the first Minister of Finance, Eliezer Kaplan, Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek, and First Lady Aura Herzog.

Herzl, was fiercely opposed by many Labour Party stalwarts, who claimed that Jabotinsky was an ultra-right nationalist undeserving of such an honour.

To the north of Herzl's grave is a plot reserved for the leaders of the (World) Zionist Organization, among them David Wolffsohn, Nahum Sokolow, Simcha Dinitz, and Arieh Dulzin.

The memorial is located in the National Civil Cemetery next to Helkat Gedolei Ha'Uma.

[10] The military cemetery also honours the memory of Israel's fallen Christian, Muslim, and Druze soldiers who have served in the Israeli security forces.

[11] The Garden of the Missing in Action is a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Memorial and Memory Garden for soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces and those who fought for the pre-state Land of Israel whose resting places are unknown from 1914 until today.

The garden was established on 29 February 2004 in a ceremony attended by army chiefs, the Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, and members of the Jerusalem Municipality at the National Military and Police cemetery.

An annual memorial service for the Missing Soldiers of Israel takes place in the garden's main plaza on Seventh of Adar day.

On the north side of the plaza is a memorial wall bearing the names of all missing soldiers and fighters from 1914 until today.

[12] It is designed in the shape of a torch rising some 18 meters and an eternal flame burns there all year long.

[14] Above the Herzl Museum and the main plaza is the Nations Garden, where trees have been planted by visiting presidents and heads of state.

Yad Vashem is complex containing two types of sites - memorial museums and monuments, and a research institute.

Yad Vashem honours non-Jews who saved Jews during the Holocaust, at great personal risk, as the "Righteous among the Nations".

The Memorial Path, leading from the entrance of Yad Vashem up to the Mount Herzl national cemetery, was established in 2003 and includes plaques that mark important events from the beginning of Zionism until the creation of the state of Israel.

In 2010, work began on a Zionism Studies Center next to the Herzl museum, with the opening scheduled for 2013.

Mitspe Karem (Hebrew: מִצְפֶּה כֶּרֶם) is an archaeological park located in the Jerusalem Forest on the west side of the Mount of Remembrance, near the Yad Vashem museum.
