(With the gardens) The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier () is a war memorial, dedicated to the Syrian soldiers killed during battle. It was visited every year by the President of Syria on Martyrs' Day (May 6) prior to the fall of the Assad regime.

Two Quran verses are engraved into the monument:

Think not of those who are slain in [[Allah
God]]'s Way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the Presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the Bounty provided by God: and with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.
