Visit to a Place of Historical Interest

A historic site is an official location where pieces of political, military, cultural, or social history have been preserved [রক্ষিত] due to its cultural [সাংস্কৃতিক] value. Visiting a historical place is really interesting, educative and attractive. We can learn much about the past, past culture, tradition etc. During the last summer vacation, I along with my family got such an opportunity [সুযোগ] to visit the National Memorial at Savar. Actually, it is the symbol of the nation’s respect for the martyrs [শহীদ] of the war of liberation. It is built with concrete, but made of blood. There is actually a series of 7 towers that rise by stages to a height of 150 feet. The foundation [ভিত্তি] was laid on the first anniversary of the victory day. The entire complex covers an area of 126 acres. The plan of this complex includes a mosque, a library and a museum. The relics of the liberation war will be kept in the museum to remind the supreme [সর্বোচ্চ] sacrifices [বিসর্জন] of freedom loving people. The most moving sight of the complex is the several graves of the martyred freedom fighters. Standing in front of the graves we bow down our heads in respect, as the towers soar [শূন্যমধ্যে বহুদূর ত্তঠা] up symbolizing [প্রতীকস্বরুপ হত্তয়া] the loftiness [উদারতা] of their spirit. However, we visited the place and the surrounding [পরিবেষ্টিত] area for about an hour and enjoyed many historical things. We took some snaps taking the view of the memorial. Through this visit we experienced a lot. I left it but the memory is still vivid [উজ্জ্বল] in my memory.
