It is a commemorative object of the fallen of the Second World War and of the Nazi camps. The mausoleum was designed by architect Kristo Sotiri (1870-1953). The works started in 1947. It is the first and only one of its kind as a mausoleum in our country. The “Martyrs’ Mausoleum” complex has an arc-shaped floor plan. It consists of three main parts: the Mausoleum building, the staircase and the flower garden. The bones of the martyrs are placed in special niches (chambers). Meanwhile, memorial graves (graves without bones) were used for those who fell in the Nazi camps. The names of those interned in the Nazi camps are written in bronze letters on two marble slabs.
