Yalova Earthquake Monument, Memorial monument in Bahçelievler Mahallesi, Turkey.
The Yalova Earthquake Monument is a memorial site in Bahçelievler Mahallesi featuring marble blocks inscribed with victims' names and small openings for placing flowers. Two exhibition halls next to the structure display photographs and documents about the disaster's impact and the reconstruction that followed.
This monument was built to remember the powerful earthquake of August 1999 that devastated the region and triggered a major rebuilding process. Its creation was part of the community's effort to process the tragedy and honor those who were lost.
Local schoolchildren participated in creating the monument by adding colorful mosaic artworks along the memorial walls. Their contributions give the place a personal touch and show how the community came together to honor those remembered here.
The site is accessible year-round and requires no special preparations, as the monument sits in an open area that is easy to reach. The exhibition halls offer additional context and help you better understand what happened and how the region recovered.
Each marble block features small specially designed recesses where visitors can place flowers in tribute to those remembered. This detail allows everyone to make a personal gesture of respect and remembrance.
