War Memorial Tower, Memorial tower and museum at Capital Hill, Lilongwe, Malawi
The National War Memorial Tower stands between Capital Hill and Area 18 Filling Station, featuring a statue of Dr Hastings Kamuzu Banda in its compound.
The tower commemorates soldiers and civilians who died during World War I, World War II, and other military operations within and outside Malawi since 1902.
Every November 11th, the Malawi Defence Force conducts a military march to honor fallen heroes through a ceremonial salute at the memorial tower.
Visitors can climb the tower using stairs and ladders without paying an entrance fee, though tipping guides is a common practice.
From the observation deck, viewers can see Capital Hill, Parliament, Bunda Mountain, Ngala Mountain, and Bingu Stadium across the Lilongwe cityscape.
