wonderful place, plenty of cafeterias, the museum is very well made (there are models that showcase gore/torture, so may not be appropriate for kids, unless kept close), and says alot about the struggles this country has been through, to gain its freedom...

Impressive monument - where people come to hang out. Its nice (and funto take the cable car up there. If you go in the late afternoon like I did, you can get to see it during the day time, and also when it is lit up in the colours of Algeria in the evening. The museum underneath shows, in sometimes quite graphic detail, the struggle for independence of Algeria from France.

It is the three huge cement palm leaves, which form a prominent landmark, and the capital is often referred to by it. It is located in the upper part of the capital in the Al-Madania neighborhood, flying at an altitude of 92 meters. It is reached by cable car to get to it from Hama in order to save time, because going by taxi requires more time.In the cable car, you will have a breathtaking view of the whole city, which you will discover as a bay between two sea heads. You can also see the Martyrs Museum, located under the shrine and near it is the Dome of Mercy for the Martyrs of the Liberation Revolution. This shrine is a memorial to the Algerian war built in 1982, on the occasion of commemorating the twentieth anniversary of Algerias independence, and in memory of the victims of the liberation war. There is also the "Riyad Al-Fath", which is settled under it, which is a semi-commercial center built in the countrys socialist era in the early eighties with the shrine of the martyr, that is, at the beginning of the Shazly era. The interesting thing about Riad Al-Fath, which is owned by the state, is that most of the shops in it are closed, and those that are open have not changed for 30 years, so the visitor feels as if he is wandering around in a museum, because the demand for the place declined more than two decades ago for the sake of more practical and modern places.

We visited during COVID. They only allow you in if you have done a COVID vaccine which was nice to see.As soon as you arrive, you will see the guards and the first thing they ask is for your phone and camera. You are not allowed to take any photos inside. They keep your belongings safe in a locker.The place is great to see the history of Algerias war and the mujahideen. It was surprising how much I didnt know, including the details of the tortures that France was doing.Even if you do not visit inside, its still a great place to take pictures with.

Very good view, maybe a little cold in the evening. I was wondering where the food was but then i found the tacobaguette in the cantine on the ground. I would most likely never come back since there really wasnt any service.

The martyrs sanctuary in Algeria, a monument to the struggles and sacrifices of the million and a half of a martyrs country, and part of the Algerian currency, and the most beautiful built in Algeria to commemorate the lives of those who sacrificed Balgali and precious in order to taking Algeria as the martyrs sanctuary still tells the story given by the people of Algeria. The landmark is high, still lit, the sky of Algeria tells its revolution to the world, and the first destination for those who still visit the capital from inside and outside the home, and the space still brings families, young people and a place of pilgrimage for the heads of kings and emperors. It is Boumedienes dream achieved by Chadli and embraced by the people.

The memorial can be easily reached via a small public cable car, which runs up the hill and connects the monument to the Botanical Garden Hamma (Jardin dEssai du Hamma).Also, The memorial is free to visit (although soldiers will most likely prevent you from getting close to the eternal flameand the surrounding plaza is a popular gathering spot. Entrance to the nearby military museum (Musem de l’Armee), which is located at the opposite end of the square, is free to enter and has a wide collection of exhibits that provide more context on Algeria’s complicated relationship with France.

Nice monument with a very rich history, it symbolizes the huge sacrifices of the martyrs. It punctuates the Algiers skyline and makes it unique in its own way. At night, it lights up with three different colors: green for prosperity, red for the blood shed by the martyrs and white for peace. Next to it, a splendid view on the botanic garden of El Hamma and on the bay of Algiers.

A monument that you should see when visiting Algiers. A museum was settled under the museum. Entrance is 50DZ but dont expect too many things. City view from the monument is good. You can have a walk or take the teleferic (cableline to the garden essai de hamma. The thing I dont understand is how they put antennas on such a memorial monument.
