Seventy two martyrs of Temple

The National Revolutionary Martyrs' Shrine spans 52,000 square meters and features traditional Chinese architecture with a main hall, bell tower, and drum tower.

The site transformed from a Japanese Gokoku Shrine in 1942 to its current form in 1969, commemorating individuals who died in conflicts since 1912.

The shrine contains spirit tablets honoring 390,000 people, including soldiers from various conflicts and civilians who sacrificed their lives for others.

Visitors can reach the memorial through Dazhi Station on the Taipei Metro and observe the hourly guard-changing ceremony performed by military personnel.

Lin Ching-chuan, a kindergarten teacher who died saving children from a bus fire in 1992, became the first civilian honored at this military shrine.
