Heroes of the Motherland Park, Memorial park in Riscani district, Chișinău, Moldova.

Heroes of the Motherland Park is a memorial park near Miron Costin Street and Moscow Boulevard featuring landscaped gardens and walking paths. A central commemorative complex with stone structures stands surrounded by green spaces where benches allow visitors to sit and reflect.

The memorial was built in 2002 as a tribute to soldiers who served in international missions. This marked a shift in how the city chose to honor those who gave their service.

This park serves as a gathering place where veterans and families lay flowers to honor those they have lost throughout the year. Visitors notice how the space draws people together during these moments of remembrance.

The park is open to visitors during daylight hours and offers free access to the pathways and memorial area. Wear comfortable shoes since some paths have gentle slopes and the site is best visited when you can see the details clearly.

The monument was designed by architect Vasili Eremciuc and sculptor Boris Dubrovin, who wove together symbolic elements of valor and loss. Their combined artistic vision creates a space that conveys both strength and solemnity.
