Garden of the Heroes, Memorial park and garden in Missolonghi, Greece.
The Garden of Heroes contains monuments dedicated to 69 Greeks and international supporters who fought during the Greek War of Independence.
The site marks the location where Lord Byron, along with Greek fighters, defended Missolonghi against Ottoman forces during the 1824 siege.
Annual commemorative ceremonies take place in the garden on Palm Sunday, featuring a memorial march from Saint Spyridon Church.
Visitors can explore marble statues, monuments, and the Tomb of the Fallen while learning about the Greek independence movement through informational displays.
A monument depicts Greek fighters bowing to a priest, representing the connection between religious faith and military resistance during the revolution.
