Al-Shaheed Monument was opened in 1983 dedicated to the Iraqi soldiers who died in the Iraq-Iran war that lasted for eight years starting from 1980. Designed by the Iraqi architect Saman Kamal and the Iraqi sculptor and artist Ismail Fatah Al Turk, the monument consist of an enormous turquoise-tiled dome, 40 meters tall.
