Monument à la Gloire de la Resistance, Modern memorial in Toulouse, France.
The memorial features underground tunnels with interconnected crypts, constructed from raw concrete with angular geometric lines and metallic tube sculptures.
This memorial, unveiled on August 19, 1971, commemorates the 27th anniversary of the liberation of Toulouse during World War II.
The memorial path leads visitors through a symbolic journey from darkness to light, ending in the Gardens of Plants.
The monument welcomes visitors Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with direct access from François Verdier metro station.
On August 19th at 11 AM, sunlight penetrates the structure to illuminate a commemorative plaque marking the date August 19, 1944.
