The Cenotaph, War memorial in Southampton, England.
The stone cenotaph rises as a tapered pylon structure, culminating in diminishing layers and featuring an empty sarcophage with a reclining soldier at its peak.
Architect Edwin Lutyens designed this Grade I listed memorial in 1920, establishing a model that influenced subsequent war monuments across Britain, including London's Whitehall Cenotaph.
The memorial contains inscribed names of fallen soldiers from both World Wars on three sides, serving as a central location for remembrance ceremonies throughout the year.
Glass panels installed in 2011 display additional names from World War II and subsequent conflicts, protecting the original stone structure from further weathering damage.
The monument includes specific architectural elements such as a prominent cross, city coat of arms, two lions, and an altar-like structure at its base.
