The world’s most unusual war memorial.
In Yarzeh, a village southeast of Beirut, I discovered this enormous conglomerated tower of real tanks, artillery pieces, mortars and armoured vehicles, sandwiched between thick layers of concrete. The 5,000-ton monument is 30 metres high and contains as many as 78 vehicles. It was designed by French-born American artist Armand Fernandez in 1995 and is entitled “The Hope for Peace.”  #LocalSecrets  #History
