Cemeteries and memorials to visit Aktau

The monument to the heroes and victims of the Great Patriotic War takes the form of a circular plaza, decorated on the ground with geometric interlacing and surrounding a second circle on whose edges stand five concrete blocks, representing the five years of war and surrounding an eternal flame. The upper tips of the blocks are inclined, evoking the silhouette of a yurt. A promenade joins the waterfront where a Mig-21 appears to take off facing the Caspian Sea.
