About
Fakte të shpejta: Walking among the austere concrete stelae feels like moving through a vast, silent maze, where light narrows to deep ribbons and the ground subtly tilts underfoot. Over 2,700 pillars rise in uneven rows, and an underground exhibition presents personal documents and testimony that give intimate faces to the immense loss.
Pikat kryesore: Walk between the 2,711 concrete slabs that tilt and rise up to 4.7 meters, and the narrow gravel paths and sudden walls make your footsteps drop into a deep, metallic echo as if the city noise has been dialed down. Beneath the field an underground information center houses thousands of personal testimonies and photographs, and visitors often stop to read a single life aloud, a quiet ritual that turns abstract numbers into one unmistakable human face.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, surfaces between stelae are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
- Aim for weekday mornings to avoid large tour groups that arrive mid-morning and midday.
- Take quiet, contemplative photos only, avoid staged or celebratory poses among the stelae.
- Spend extra time in the subterranean information center to read survivor testimonies and context panels.
