It is located on an artificial island on the Svisloch River, in the very center of Old Minsk.
The memorial is also a popular place for newlyweds, who consider it a good tradition to lay flowers at the monument.
This complex symbolizes the memory of all Belarusians who died in military operations outside the country.
Visiting the Memorial Chapel to the fallen Afghan Soldiers made a deep impression on me. This place is not just a memorial, but a sacred space where silence speaks louder than any words. The architectural solution, combining elements of the chapel and the monument, creates an atmosphere of sorrow and hope at the same time.
The stone from which the memorial was erected seems to preserve the memory of the heroism and tragedy of those years. The sculptural elements, concise and expressive, convey the pain of loss and pride in the feat. The faces of the warriors etched in stone are full of determination and courage.
The interior of the chapel made a special impression. Semi-darkness, candles and icons create an atmosphere of peace and spiritual unity. Here you can pray for the repose of the souls of the dead and remember those who gave their lives while performing military duty.
The memorial chapel to the fallen Afghan soldiers is a place of remembrance, mourning and worship, which should be visited by everyone who honors the history of their country and remembers the heroes.
It's beautiful and very patriotic. The monument-chapel is located on a small island, opposite the sports complex, surrounded by a river and a picturesque view, if you do not pay attention to the huge sprawling residential complex nearby
