Common card · No. 473592

Taesongsan Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery (Korean: 대성산혁명렬사릉) is a cemetery and memorial to the North Korean soldiers fighting for freedom and independence against Japanese rule. The 30-hectare site is located near the top of Mount Taesong (Taesongsan) in the Taesong-guyok, just outside Pyongyang, capital of North Korea. The cemetery with hundreds of tombs was completed in 1975, and in October 1985 it was renovated and expanded. Its design inspired the design of two African cemeteries, National Heroes' Acre in Zimbabwe and Heroes' Acre in Namibia.
