Irish Cenotaphs

Irish cenotaphs are memorial structures dedicated to honoring soldiers, particularly those who served and died in wars like World War I and II. Unlike traditional cemeteries, cenotaphs do not hold remains; they serve as symbolic monuments symbolizing loss and remembrance. Commonly found in public spaces, they often feature inscriptions, wreaths, and national symbols, providing a focal point for ceremonies on remembrance days. These monuments reflect Ireland’s complex history with conflict and serve as sites for collective memory and national respect.
