Yalova Earthquake Monument, Memorial monument in Bahçelievler Mahallesi, Turkey.
The Yalova Earthquake Monument features marble blocks arranged along a hallway with inscribed names of victims and holes for placing flowers.
The monument commemorates the 7.4 magnitude earthquake of August 17, 1999, which resulted in 2,508 deaths in Yalova and required extensive rebuilding.
Local children contributed to the monument's design by creating colorful mosaic artworks that line the memorial hallway walls.
Two exhibition halls next to the monument display photographs documenting the earthquake's aftermath, providing context for visitors throughout the year.
Each marble block contains small openings designed specifically for holding individual flowers beside the names of those who perished in the disaster.
