Ashgabat Memorial Complex, Memorial complex in southwest Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
The National Memorial Complex contains three major monuments commemorating victims of World War II, the 1948 earthquake, and the Battle of Geok Tepe.
The complex opened on October 6, 2014, integrating existing monuments from central Ashgabat into a new 160-acre memorial space near the city edge.
The earthquake monument features a bronze bull supporting Earth, reflecting ancient Turkic beliefs about massive animals causing ground movements.
The memorial grounds include paved walkways, benches, and night illumination systems, with dedicated personnel maintaining the entire space throughout the day.
Five red marble towers reaching 88 feet stand over an eternal flame, forming an eight-pointed star pattern within the World War II section.
