Introduction
To commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the independence of Algeria, a building was erected in 1982 on the 20th anniversary of Algeria's independence. This building is called the "Eternal Flame" and is made up of three giant palm leaves made of reinforced concrete, supporting each other and protecting the "Eternal Flame" below. On each side of the palm leaf is a statue of a warrior, representing an important stage of the Algerian independence war.
