Tomb of Karl Marx, Bronze memorial in Highgate Cemetery, London, England
The tomb features a large bronze bust of Marx mounted on a marble pedestal, reaching a height of 3.7 meters within the cemetery grounds.
After Marx's death in 1883, his remains were moved to the current location in 1954, and the new memorial was unveiled in 1956 by Harry Pollitt.
The monument displays inscriptions from Marx's works, including the famous quote 'Workers of all lands unite' from The Communist Manifesto.
Visitors need to pay an entrance fee to the Friends of Highgate Cemetery Trust, which maintains the site and provides guided tours.
The tomb has endured multiple acts of vandalism and two bomb attacks during the 1970s, leading to the installation of video surveillance equipment.
