The July 15 Martyrs' Monument we designed and brought to life is a meaningful memorial project symbolizing national unity and the spirit of heroism. For each martyr, a rose and a cypress tree were planted, offering visitors both a visual and emotional experience. While the names of the 251 martyrs are inscribed on the monument, 125 tons of steel were used in the main structure, and 3,400 m² of Safranbolu Eflani fossilized green marble was used for the upper and surrounding areas.

Through a dedicated walkway connecting to the entrance of the Islamic-Ottoman social complex (külliye), visitors embark on a meaningful journey, exploring the monument while experiencing a historical and cultural atmosphere. This project stands as an exemplary work in experience-oriented monument design and cultural heritage projects.

A distinctive detail — the names of all 251 martyrs are individually inscribed on the monument, with a rose and a cypress tree planted for each of them nearby.
