Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation
Portal of the Folded Wings Shrine to Aviation, Aviation memorial at Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in Burbank, United States.
The 75-foot marble and mosaic structure features a domed arch with sculptural elements and bronze markers covering the remains of aviation pioneers.
Constructed in 1924 as the cemetery entrance, the structure transformed into an aviation shrine in 1953, marking the 50th anniversary of Wright brothers' flight.
The memorial houses four dedicated rooms displaying aviation artifacts, historical documents, and commemorative plaques honoring early flight contributors.
Visitors can access the shrine through Victory Boulevard gate from 8 AM to 6 PM, with the Burbank Aviation Museum opening first Sundays monthly.
The structure contains the remains of fifteen aviation figures, including mechanics and pilots who shaped early flight development in North America.
