The Busan Regional Veterans Office (Director Lee Nam-il) is promoting the selection of the ‘Memorial Facility of the Month’ for 2025 to increase interest in memorial facilities and spread a culture of veterans affairs in daily life.


In January 2025, the Busan Regional Veterans Office designated the ‘Busan City Memorial Tower’ located in Yeongju-dong, Jung-gu as the Memorial Facility of the Month.


After the establishment of the Republic of Korea government on August 15, 1948, the Memorial Tower was built in June 1957 at Yongdusan Park to enshrine the spirits of patriotic fallen soldiers and police officers from Busan who fought for the country and the nation. It was relocated to the current Jungang Park in September 1983. Currently, the spirit tablets of 9,388 patriotic martyrs are enshrined in the spirit hall.
