Monument to Victory and the Soldiers of Verdun
Monument to Victory and the Soldiers of Verdun, War memorial in Verdun, France
The Monument to Victory and the Soldiers of Verdun features a 30-meter pyramidal tower topped with a warrior statue looking east toward the battlefield.
The monument, inaugurated in 1929, commemorates the French tactical victory and the 300,000 soldiers who perished during the Battle of Verdun in 1916.
The central waterfall dividing the monumental staircase represents renewal, connecting the lower town at rue Mazel to the upper town at Place de la Libération.
The memorial stands at 50 Rue Mazel in Verdun, providing visitors with inscriptions detailing military accomplishments and messages of remembrance from the Great War.
A large warrior figure stands at the monument's summit, holding a sword while maintaining an eternal vigilance over the former battlegrounds of World War I.
