memorial sites
Places honoring dead
Memorial sites are places established to honor and preserve the memory of significant people, events, or tragedies.
They range from formal monuments and preserved battlefields to locations where disasters or atrocities occurred: The Holocaust memorial sites across Europe draw millions of visitors annually.
Unlike memorials generally, the phrase emphasizes physical location—ground that holds historical weight.
