Ganja Rocket Attack Memorial
Honoring the victims of the 2020 Ganja missile attacks, this memorial stands as a testament to the city's resilience and the human cost of conflict.
The Ganja Rocket Attack Memorial is a poignant site dedicated to the memory of civilians who perished during the Armenian missile attacks on Ganja in October 2020, during the Second Karabakh War. The attacks, which occurred on multiple dates (October 4, 5, 8, 11, and 17), involved the use of various missile systems. The memorial serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the resilience of the people of Ganja, who have endured numerous conflicts throughout history. The memorial complex, still under construction with an expected completion by the end of 2025, will feature a museum, an event space, and preserved remains of buildings struck by rockets. The museum will have an outdoor area that extends along a spiral-shaped wall, symbolizing the trail left by the rocket impact. Visiting the Ganja Rocket Attack Memorial offers a unique opportunity to learn about the impact of the Second Karabakh War on the civilian population and to pay respects to those who lost their lives.
