Wales Genocide Memorial, Genocide memorial at Temple of Peace, Cardiff, United Kingdom.

The memorial features a tall red sandstone sculpture with a Welsh slate cross that represents Armenian cultural elements in the National Garden of Peace.

Unveiled in November 2007, this memorial marks the first monument in the United Kingdom to formally acknowledge the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923.

The memorial includes inscriptions in three languages - Welsh, Armenian, and English - commemorating victims of the Armenian Genocide through annual ceremonies.

Visitors can access the memorial in the Temple of Peace gardens, near Cardiff Castle and the Civic Centre, surrounded by important municipal buildings.

The monument combines St Bees stone from Cumbria, selected for its similarity to Armenian Tufa stone, with locally sourced Welsh slate materials.
