Monument to the Negev Brigade, War memorial sculpture in Beersheba, Israel
The Monument to the Negev Brigade features 18 symbolic concrete elements, including a perforated tower and water channels across the hilltop location.
The memorial commemorates the Negev Brigade of Palmach, which defended water sources and halted Egyptian invasion during the 1948 War of Independence.
Israeli artist Dani Karavan designed this concrete memorial between 1963 and 1968, incorporating architectural elements that reflect military structures and desert landscape.
The monument includes an 18-meter observation tower offering views over Beersheba to the west and the desert in all other directions.
The memorial's dome contains perforations allowing sunlight to illuminate the names of fallen soldiers inside the commemorative chamber.
