Mound of Glory, War memorial near Minsk, Belarus
The memorial features four large bayonet-shaped obelisks reaching 71 meters high, encircled by a ring displaying military motifs and soldier portraits.
The construction began in November 1967 following a decree by the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic to commemorate the 1944 Operation Bagration.
The memorial serves as a central location for Independence Day ceremonies and gatherings where Belarusians honor the soldiers of World War II.
Visitors can climb 241 steps on either of two concrete stairways to reach the observation point at the top of the monument.
The mound incorporates soil from various combat locations and hero cities, creating a 35-meter-high hill as the foundation for the memorial structure.
