The Monument of Liberty in Istanbul's Şişli-Mecidiyeköy district is a memorial in Ottoman architectural style dedicated to soldiers killed defending the Ottoman Parliament during the 31 March Incident. Positioned atop Hürriyet-i Ebediye Tepesi (Eternal Liberty Hill), the highest point in Şişli at 130 meters above sea level, the monument occupies a park situated between three major highways. Its design employs symbolic geometry: pathways radiate outward in a five-angled star pattern enclosed by a circle, both elements evoking the star and crescent of the Turkish flag.
