The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (Arabic: ضريح الجندي المجهول) is a war memorial, dedicated to the Syrian soldiers killed during battle. It is visited every year by the President of Syria on Martyrs' Day (May 6).
The monument was designed by Prof. Dr. (Architecture) Abdo Kass-Hout and Prof. Mahmoud Hammad who won a competition organized by the Syrian Ministry of Defense. Erected in 1985, the monument features a dome, symbolizing the universe, and an arch, symbolizing victory. There is a hall under the dome, featuring five large paintings depicting battles from Arab and Syrian history: Battle of Yarmouk (636), Battle of Hattin (1187), Battle of Maysaloun (1920), Battle of Mount Hermon (1973) and Battle of Sultan Yacoub (1982).
