Montpellier war memorial, War memorial at Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, Montpellier, France
The memorial features a hemicycle colonnade of Corinthian style columns with inscriptions listing major World War I battles on the pediment.
Following a decision made on November 18, 1918, architect Jacques-Léon Février designed this memorial, which was inaugurated on May 6, 1923.
The underground passage contains walls engraved with names of over 2,200 local soldiers who died during twentieth-century conflicts.
The memorial stands in a central location near the Corum convention center, allowing year-round access for visitors and ceremony attendees.
Originally placed in the center of Esplanade garden, the monument moved to its current southeast position in 1993.
