Eternity Memorial Complex
Complexul Memorial „Eternitate”
A WWII memorial formed by five red stone rifles encircling an eternal flame, flanked by cemeteries of fallen soldiers. The atmosphere is solemn.
Completed in 1975 to commemorate the soldiers who died liberating Chișinău in World War II, the five 25-meter-tall red granite “rifles” rise and join to form a five-pointed star, with an eternal flame burning at the center. Surrounding it are military graves, along with memorials added later for the Dniester conflict and the Afghan War. Entry is free, and it's a good place to learn about Moldova's modern history. It's south of the city center, about 10 minutes by taxi. Please dress and behave respectfully.
