Israeli Navy Memorial

The Israeli Navy Memorial in Elisheva Garden is a cenotaph with sculptures and monuments where names are inscribed in stone. The site has pathways and viewing areas with artistic works that reference naval themes and the sea.

The memorial was built in 1973 after the Yom Kippur War, when the Israeli Navy fought against attackers at sea. It was created to preserve the memory of those who died in that conflict.

The memorial displays names of those who died at sea, allowing visitors to pause and reflect as they walk through the space. People come here to remember individuals and their sacrifice for the nation.

The site is open to visitors year-round and sits near the coast in Ashdod. There are no special requirements, and you can walk at your own pace to read names and spend time reflecting.

The memorial uses artistic works featuring ships and ocean elements to honor the navy. These visual representations help visitors connect with the maritime history and operations at sea.
