Turkish Soldiers monument in Beersheba

The Turkish Soldiers Monument is positioned between David Tuviyahu Avenue and Ali Daivis Street, facing the memorial dedicated to Australian and New Zealand troops. Located at Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Plaza, it stands as part of a larger complex of historical monuments in the area.

The monument was established in 2002 to honor 298 Ottoman soldiers who died during the Battle of Beersheba in 1917. It serves as a marker of this conflict and the historical ties between the nations involved in that battle.

The memorial displays inscriptions in multiple languages and reflects how two nations acknowledge a shared moment from the past through its design. The setting shows how this place brings together people who come to remember soldiers from different sides of the conflict.

You can reach the monument through Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Plaza, which connects to other war memorials and historical sites in the area. The location is straightforward to access and allows you to visit nearby memorials as part of your route.

A commemorative plaque at the base was relocated from the Beer Sheva War Cemetery, where British and ANZAC soldiers are also remembered. This connection links two different places of remembrance for the same historical battle.
