About
Duatepe is the first hill that was captured back from the enemy during the Great Offensive that started on 10 September 1921 and this event determined the end of the War of the Independence. The monument consists of five sections: the connection road, the parking lot, hiking trail, the ceremonial ground and the monument. One of the two flags in the monument symbolizes the flag of the 58th Regiment and the other is the Turkish flag. Names of the 81 martyrs who died in the Duatepe offensive are written on the walls with brass letters. Statues at the monument have symbolic meanings.
