Communards' Wall, War memorial in Père Lachaise Cemetery, France.
The Communards' Wall stands as a memorial section within the eastern wall of Père Lachaise Cemetery, marked by a commemorative plaque and wreaths.
On May 28, 1871, French military forces executed 147 Paris Commune fighters at this location during the final days of resistance against government troops.
The wall serves as a central gathering point for annual ceremonies commemorating the Paris Commune members and their fight for social reforms.
