Anti-Communist Martyrs Memorial Tower

The Anti-Communist Martyrs Memorial Tower is a tower approximately 15 meters high, built to honor the patriotic martyrs who lost their lives fighting for the country. It was erected to commemorate the comrades from patriotic right-wing organizations such as the Daedong Youth Corps, Korea Youth Corps, Federation of Korean Trade Unions, Anti-Communist League, Minbodan, and the Northwest Youth Association within Yeongdeungpo-gu, as well as police officers, firefighters, students, and many other patriotic comrades who sacrificed their lives with a conviction to save the nation during the bloodshed after the liberation of the homeland on August 15, 1945, and the national crisis caused by North Korea's invasion on June 25, 1950. The memorial tower is located along Nodeul-gil, which runs beside the Yeouido stream next to Singil Station, and every June a memorial service is held to honor the sacrifices of the martyrs. This tower was established by the Yeongdeungpo-gu Veterans Association and the Anti-Communist Martyrs Memorial Tower Construction Committee, and it is a place where various patriotic organizations and the public pay special tribute to their dedicated actions and sacrifices.
