Port Said Martyrs Memorial, Memorial obelisk in Al-Sharq District, Port Said, Egypt.
The Port Said Martyrs Memorial is an obelisk monument in Port Said located at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal. The structure is built from granite with a symbolic flame at its base as its main visual centerpiece.
The memorial was erected to honor Egyptians who died in 1956 during the Suez Crisis, when multiple countries launched military operations against Egypt. This event was a turning point in Port Said's history and the region's fate.
The memorial sits in a place where people gather to reflect on significant moments in Port Said's history and collective memory. It shows how the community values and preserves its connection to past events that shaped the city.
The memorial is located in a central spot in the city and is easy to find when exploring the canal area. Visitors should plan to visit during daylight hours to see the structure and its surroundings clearly.
The memorial blends architectural elements from ancient Egypt with contemporary design, using grey granite that echoes pharaonic monuments. An underground museum beneath the base displays objects and documents connected to the city's past.
