The National Martyrs' Memorial (Bengali: জাতীয় স্মৃতিসৌধ, romanized: Jātīẏô Smr̥tisôudhô) is a national monument in Bangladesh. It was built to honour and remember those who died during the Bangladesh Liberation War (as well as the genocide) in 1971, which resulted in Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan. The monument is located in Savar, about 35 km northwest of the capital city, Dhaka.[1] It was designed by Syed Mainul Hossain and built by Concord Group.[2][3]
